Bob,

They are very nice.

Any chance of a bit more detail, I am going to get some decent blades for my cheap scroll saw and this sort of thing looks a good way of using them.

As with all your work, Bob, those are lovely pieces of scrolling. I presume the patterns came from a supplier such as Wildwood?

[Greenfield Bob]

Gill the patterns all came from magazines like Creative Woodworks & Crafts.

Bob, What thickness of wood do you use for your ornaments?.......and the finish you prefer?
Lin

 

[Greenfield Bob]

Lin the ornaments are 1/4" to 1/8". BLO/mineral spirits and then Deft lacquer. Bob

 

[Gill]

Unfortunately, I don't believe Deft lacquer is available on this side of the pond . I'm presuming "BLO" is boiled linseed oil?

Bob, very nice. Yet more inspirational work - thanks

Andy
I think it will be a long while before I post any more of my stuff - the standards here are just way to high :shock:

 

[Greenfield Bob]

Dedee, please do post any pictures you have, I love to look at other folk's work.

Bob

Excellent work!

Now, one day when i am bigger, older, wiser ........
Will definitely have to dust off the saw and get some blades.

Come on, Andy, don't be like that. Once you get a bit more time on your hands, you'll soon develop your skills.

As a matter of interest, do you have a project in hand right now? Even if you're reluctant to post a picture, I'd love to hear about it.
