This is the latest addition to my Scroll Saw Collection. I was curious about what would happen when you used larger pieces for the wedges. This Shell is made of ?? Baltic Birch Ply. I cut the material to 6.5? x 10?. I then stacked and glued 4 of these ?? pieces together to create the boards needed for the wedges. I made 3 sets of these with an objective to create 6 wedges. Once the glue was dry I trimmed the ends and edges square. I cut the wedges on the band saw and then sanded the cut faces flat. Of the 6 available wedges I used 5 for this shell which produced 61 segments and are shown in one of the available photos. I included additional photos to show the cut and gluing stages. Wedge #6 was not wasted in that it became the stand for the shell and still needs finish applied. The finish is a number of coats of gloss Tung Oil and additional coats may still be applied. This is a large Shell and the overall size measures out at 9.5? wide by 9? high. Thanks for looking. Due to photo sizes, will do another posting with additional photos.
