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.

I've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

thanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach.
