I had a large dogwood tree cut into 1" x 8" x 6' lumber. I plan to cut out some crosses with my scroll saw. Anyone have any suggestions about dogwood usage? What finish did you use? I have recently retired and am new to woodworking. Any help would be appreciated.

I use a lot of dogwood to make canes and hiking staffs. It is a very pretty wood but extremely hard. It holds detail very well when carving it. It doesn't take stain very well. Did I mention it is hard!! I finish mine with multiple coats of Deft brushing lacquer.
Good luck with it.

by JimernRolf, I had that happen once, the second time it happened I bought a magnetic sheet from amazon, the sheet is super slippery. I did not think it would stick to my Ex so I was going to use double sided tape, but it did stock magnetically just fine....

Reply to 1st Scroll Saw Bowlby DaveVanEssGreat Job. I invite you do go to scrollmania.com and try out the PolyDraw software. It allows you to design your own bowls. Ther are about seven tutorials to help learn Carol Rothman edited them for me so they under easy to understand!...Today, 02:19 AM

Aw man Rolf....that bites! But knowing you, the 'repaired' design will look fantastic and maybe even like an artistic creation.

by Gary beasleySimpler just to drop a piece of tape over the holes same way you would do for zero clearance operation.
