Thanks, DW.  I looked at the link and saved it for future reference.  You don't happen to have a link for a site that gives away money do you you    That would solve all my problems 

Actually I wish I had that link as well

That one is much more sturdy however the first one was although more delicate I think better.  Both are great though.  Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Thanks DW,  After I cut the puzzle, I realized that was what they must have done from the look of the picture in the book.  The scroll saw group I have been going to also suggested doing it in two different woods and I want to do that.  I have more of the maple and I just got some zebra wood or I could use canary.  Thought I might give it a try.  As for stacking the wood and cutting it that way - I had more trouble cutting through the 3/4 in. maple than I thought I would let alone adding to it another 3/4 in. hardwood. I will have to buy more scroll saw blades before doing that 

Cutting 1 1/2 harwood accurately takes practice there is no doubt in that.  You might wish to attempt your first one in pine and stain one.  It would be a bit easier to cut and if something were to go awry you would not have used an expensive piece of good hardwood.  You might wish to practice with spiral blades.  They have a learning curve to them however I have found that they do a pretty decent job on cutting real thick wood.

Great work on this.  I have cut this one before and I stack cut it one with a dark wood and one with light wood.  I then swapped pieces and mixed and matched.  Anyway you did a great job thanks for sharing this with us.

Lots of folks under estimate what a scroll saw can cut.  That cross looks great.  Hickory is indeed hard on tools though.  Cutting much of it will definitely dull just about any blade very quickly.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
