I cut a cross out for my wife, its about a foot tall, took about 5 1/2 hours to do, I was pleased with how it turned out.

Great job..........what type of wood?

[dirtrider73068]

Thanks guys it was pain staking working sitting there for so long I would have to stop and get or stand for a bit. The wood I cut it out of is Luan, its pretty cheap about 5 bucks for a 2x2 sheet think its 1/4 it has a dark side and light side. If cut the dark side the lighter side veneer likes to splinter and peel off. So one I get my patter glued down I peel off the lighter veneer sand the back smooth. I am sure you could also flip it over and cut out a lighter pattern, But I like the dark shade plus it shows some lines looks like wood grain and can move the pattern to get the lines to show a certain way.

I would like to do some more better work with some better wood like some baltic birch once I get some.

Looks very nice!!!  You can get Baltic Birch at Michaels Craft store.  12" x 24" about $8.00.  Expensive, but it is a source that you have probably near you.  Check their website for coupons, I just used a 50% off any one item the other day.

Good job!

I wondered if that stuff at micheals was baltic birch its cheaper there than at hobby lobby. Might have to get a piece of it to try see how it cuts. This scrolling is addictive if you like wood work, I am loving it, think I found a good hobby I can enjoy and have fun with, if the weather will work with me. Its been cold all day.

Great work! I get my BB Ply from Lowes. It comes in big or small sheets. I just cut it down in my shop with the table saw or you can have them cut it down there.
