We Love You Dad plaque

01-15-2007, 07:22 PM

Here's my latest cutting: 3/4" red oak w/ clear lacquer coating over Honey Oak Stain. Piece is about 12" long, cap letters are 1.5" high, using Cooper Black font. It's a birthday present for my Father-in-Law who turns 87 Jan 31.

Daryl, I used Microsoft Powerpoint , Word Art and Shapes. I could have used Paintshop, too, but had trouble finding a heart shape.

Nice lettering. I think cutting good looking letters is one of the harder things to do with a scroll saw.

Greetings from central Indiana. Most of the good stuff I know about scrolling, I learned here. The rest was from fixing mistakes or doing stuff again because I didn't pay attention to what I read here.
So, ask your questions and post your photos.
