General Scroll Saw Talk / Question about poland wood?

« on: November 05, 2014, 08:22:05 pm »

My brother was in town from Poland a while back, and while here I got him started on some simple Scroll projects. Needless to say he is now hooked. He was able to get his hands on a saw but now don't know what kind of wood to use that might actually be found in Poland. He really liked using the basswood. The Questions is, what wood from Poland is good for scrolling?

Thanks everyone.

This was a request from a friend of a friend that wanted to have something to remember her grand daughter that passed away at 7 months from heart complication. I am not very good a portrait patterns but I have to say this one is pretty good.

This was made using 3/4" basswood, it is about 14" x 12". I haven't figured out what to do with it as far as stain, laquer, background yet.

Brag Forum / Cookie Monster

« on: May 23, 2013, 01:27:08 pm »

My 12 year old daughter is a big fan of everything cookie monster and asked me last night if I could make something for her with cookie monster in it, so this is what I came up with. It was cut from 3/4" Basswood and measures 7"wide x 10" tall, with black fleece style fabric attached to the back. I used the Dremel tool with the engraving bit to do around the eyes and neck to give it more definition.

From my understanding my wife bought the blue paint for her today so that she can paint it tonight.

Brag Forum / Arena football team sign

« on: May 23, 2013, 01:20:52 pm »

I made these for the local professional indoor arena football team, so the players could have something to slap on their way out of the locker room. They were cut from 1/2 plywood (because of the size needed) they are 30" wide x 15" tall. The burnt look was achieved with a propane torch then sealed with Laquer. The material in the back ground is a white and blue fleece style fabric.

I have always loved the picture so last night I decided that I was going to scroll it. Turned out pretty good.



I just noticed that someone else has done this and the picture was in the gallery, I did not mean to steal your glory.

Introduce Yourself. / Hello everyone

« on: May 21, 2013, 04:29:20 pm »

Hello, my name is Ashley Beaver but everyone just calls me Beav or Wally. I am 36 married to my wife Mary for going on 15 yrs, I have two girls, Jeni 13, and Brook 12, and two of the most spoiled dogs you will ever meet Radar and Molly. I work at a Local Cable provider here in wonderful Columbus Ga as a maintenance tech. I love to invent new things (hopefully in the next couple of months I can post on here that I am fully retired, thanks to my new invention). Anyways I have always loved woodworking it has been a huge part of my family for the five generations that I know of and I am hoping to pass it down to my girls. I just bought my first scroll saw in January when I retired from the Army. I have seen so many awesome things done with them that I had to experience it myself. I guess you could say I had Scroll fever. My wife actually suggested that I put a microwave in the wood shop so at least in between projects I may find something to eat. LOL.. I believe I have a small leg up on most people due to my other woodworking talents, however as I found out not so humbly I am still a novice and open to learning from everyone. I have read alot of post on here before typing all this up, manily I just wanted to see if this was right for me, and I have to say awesome job. I am an open book so if you would like to know anything else just let me know.
Thanks everyone,
Beaver

This one was done for my neighbor, who out of the blue one day walked up to me and said " Can you make this", pointing at his t-shirt? I said give me a couple of hours and here is the result! Enjoy.

Ask Steve a question. / Places to find good wood

« on: April 15, 2013, 04:39:08 pm »

I am having issues getting my hands on some decent wood to use on my scroll saw around my area. I have checked out the local hardware stores and lumber yards, but unless you want to cut oak, pine, or popular you are out of luck. Any suggestions of an online dealer?

I appreciate anyones help
