A recent project


Here's a recent project. It measures 8" side-to-side and about 4" high. Made for a couple's newly-born youngster, it sits on her "baby dresser". The font was downloaded from MS-WORD, then enlarged. After attaching the pattern to the wood with temporary spray adhesive, I cut it out on a scroll saw. Quite a lot of fine-tuning (read "hand work") was required to make what you see here. Like all power tools, the scroll saw provides a great head start. But there's no substitute for good, old fashioned hand work.
