Very nice work Beav! Is the inside fret work a separate cutting glued onto the back of outer ring, or is it all one piece?

It was one soild piece of 1 inch white pine. I used the router to give it a plate look (depression in the center with raised outer ledge) I then laid out a standard roman numeral clock pattern and began cutting. Then i burnt the wood with a propane torch to bringing out the grain.

I made this one last week for a local fire department, it was cut from 3 different types of wood (basswood, oak, and white pine)..

I really hope I am not overstepping my bonds here by posting so many items. If this is the case make sure you tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

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.

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
