Been getting a little cutting in...
« on: November 29, 2011, 05:44:23 pm »
...even though life hasn't slowed down much since summer, I've squeezed some time in at the saw.

Cut this for my father's birthday (former Marine).  1/8" BB ply w/BLO and a piece of black poster board for the backer.  Store bought frame.  Pattern is from Big Book of Scroll Saw Woodworking (Fox Chapel Pub.)

All comments welcomed!

Great job! I know he will love it.

BTW, the Marines have a saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine!" I was told to never say a former Marine.

Great job.  I cut that many years ago for my husband, I had only been scrolling a short time I was so proud of myself because its not an easy pattern to cut really, so well done.

Dan, according to my father, as long as you don't say "ex-marine", you can get away with it!  ;)

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
