    Santa was good to me!

    Hi, folks,
    Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself.
    I'm Tom and I'm brand-new to scrolling. I just got a DeWalt DW788 for Xmas. I've wanted to try scrolling for a while now and all the hinting finally paid off.
    I also got a copy of Scroll Saw Workbook. I'm hoping to start the first "skill building" projects from that book tonight.
    Any advice for a complete novice would be appreciated.
    Tom

      I couldn't resist (too long since any new toys) and ordered a blacklight flashlight from Amazon--same price as Harbor Freight. Should be here Tuesday--can't wait to see all the glue spots I've missed.

      If you google "Moradillo" you'll get more information than you'll ever need. It looks like it will work up beautifully.

      The first picture is Wenge, pronounced WHEN-ghay or WHEN-Gii. It is a very hard wood. It’s splintery and very hard to cut. When finished, it is almost black. I use it when I need a black wood for Intarsia. I do not know anything about the other wood.
