I think that is the Petal-perfect Rose Box By Robert Ardizzoni. It was in the issue 31 Summer 2008 Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts. Very nice job on it. Your aunt will love it!!Cathy in NE

Thanks everyone! I got the pattern out of the Fox Chapel book called "Creating Wooden Boxes on the Scroll Saw." Here is the Amazon link to the book if you'd like to see the cover.
Amazon.com: Creating Wooden Boxes on the Scroll Saw: Patterns and Instructions for Jewelry, Music, and Other Keepsake Boxes (The Best of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Cra) (9781565234444): Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts: Books
In the book, they do the entire rose and box out of (I believe) Black Walnut. So, it is a dark brown box. Instead, I decided to make the rose out of Padauk due to it's redish color. I made the stem/thorn/leaves out of poplar and stained the with a color based stain.
I debated a long time whether I should use color on the leaves and stem since the rose in the book looks so beautiful. But, I wanted to be a bit unique. Oh, and my Aunt totally flipped out! She loved the box.

Excellent job. I like that a lot. I used to live in Texas for about 20 years and wish I had gone to the State Fair a time or two. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Reply to hegner 2"by MidMich324Just Wondering...
Is the table size on the 22" hegner saw as on the 18" hegner saw?
With the 22" inch one you get 4 more inches of depth of cut but do you also get a few more inches of table?-

Reply to Spring Issueby will8989I had to fool around with copying and taping a pattern again today. This wasn’t as bad as the fish, but still a pain. I use rapid resizer. Scan a pattern, put in size I want and it prints it out. If more than one page, it numbers each page at the top and I tape them together. Had the fish pattern...

Reply to Peanuts #1by millwabRolf, I cover it with clear contact paper (comes off clean without leaving a residue) and draw a grid for the direction I want to cut (ie horizontal or diagonal) to keep the rows even. The rest is all freehand....

I use acrobat reader. The poster feature will enlarge and if it goes to multiple pages it will put in cut marks. Even if the page is over letter size it will spread to multiple pages at 100%.
If it is in PDF form you can open with Inkscape or GIMP and select what you...-
