General Scroll Saw Talk / InLace

Hi All,
   Just watched Steve's videos on liquid inlays.  In them he talked about an oil he uses on the key chains he is making and I didn't catch which oil it was.  It could have been lemon oil, mineral oil, etc.  Can somebody (or Steve) let me know what oil he was using?

Thanks
Cathy

Pattern Requests. / Pattern for a Pastor's Wife Cross

« on: June 18, 2017, 03:02:39 pm »

Hi All,
   I can find cross patterns for nurses, fisherman, firemen, police, hunters, etc and etc., but I haven't found one for a Pastor's Wife.  Our Pastor is getting married and I thought a Pastor's Cross and Pastor's Wife Cross would make a nice gift for them.  I can't find anything.  Does anyone know if and where I can find one?

Thanks,
Cathy

Thank  you to all who responded to my plea!     I finally decided to use "scroll calligraphy" and I am sure it will look awesome.  I will post a pic of my project once it's complete.

DW,
  I like the Italic fonts or simple script.  I think one of these would be best for my project.  Brush Script or French Script.  Thank you soooo much.

Hi All,
    I am trying to cut a prayer and I can't find a scroll saw font.  I have googled, shopped, etc and can't find anything.  Help Please!  I really appreciate any assistance.  This is the prayer I am trying to cut.

Thank you, God for this food. 
For rest and home.
And all things good.
For wind and rain and sun above.
But most of all those we love.
Amen.

Thank You

Hello All,
    I am hoping to scroll a family photo from a picture I have as a Christmas present for my son and family.  I don't know if my picture is of the quality or size needed, but I would be most appreciative if someone would be willing to take a look at it and let me know. 
Thank you

Thank you Spirithorse,  I really appreciate your efforts.  I have looked at coloring pages, clipart and of course scroll saw patterns and haven't seen this design.  It has always been one of my favorite "images" of Christmas and was really hoping to be able to find a scroll saw pattern.  Thanks again

Pattern Requests. / Jesus praying at Gethsemane

« on: June 09, 2016, 01:30:10 pm »

Hi All,  I have been looking for a long while for a scroll saw pattern of Jesus praying at Gethsemane.  It needs to be small enough to fit into a cross that is about 2 1/4" wide, so loads and loads of detail just won't work, but I do want some detailing (veining is fine).  I appreciate any help.

Thanks Sawdust.  I got the piece cut yesterday, definitely running on slow speed and using a #1 Flying Dutchman RS.  I left my cutouts in place, taping them to the non-cut areas as I went.  This wood is not only soft, if it breaks in the more narrow cuts, the wood in some cases crumbles.  Don't think this is anywhere near the best wood for fretwork.  Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate the help I get when I pose a question on this forum.

Hi J, I had to do a google search to give you a totally correct answer:
    Thermally Modified Poplar
        General Characteristics: Thermally Modified Poplar is produced by the thermo-treatment process. When complete, the process carmelizes the sugars in the wood which gives the ash a dark brown appearance all the way through the wood. The process also allows the poplar to become more water resistant and decay resistant. 
    We get this wood at a mill called The Hardwood Store in Gibsonville, NC.  I haven't seen it anywhere else and my brother who lives in Maine says he hasn't been able to find it, although I have to believe that it could be found online.  http://www.baileywp.com/html/tm_poplar.html.  Hopefully you can copy and paste this link to see what it looks like.

Thanks All...I guess I didn't say what my problem was, sorry about that.  The issue is how easily it breaks, the pattern is fairly detailed and some of the cut areas are really narrow, so there's not much wood left and even a tiny catch or sharp turn and it breaks.  I did get it cut today, made sure that I left all the cutouts in place and taped each section to hold it secure as I went.  Took if off the scroll saw without ONE break.  Removing the tape caused a break that was easily repairable so I was satisfied.  I wish I had thought about sandwiching the wood and will definitely try that if I ever scroll this wood again.  You guys, as always, are great.  Thanks again.
