Thought I'd share a few projects accomplished since Christmas. The Boxer was a Birthday gift for my son's girlfriend. 'Pups on Bench' and 'Wolf' are JZ patterns. Really enjoyed cutting these. Some of the frames I made and a couple were store bought (sale). Your thoughts and advice are welcome.

Nice work, Paul. I just started Pups on a Bench - Kevin and steve must have given me a taste for holes ..lol I hope mine looks as good as yours
I'm finding slow going at the moment though - I'm determined to get the hang of spirals but at the moment I'm still having to think about avoiding going onto autopilot and turning the workpiece ...Ian

Ian, There is no reason you can't turn the piece when you are doing and using spirals. It is always easier to push the piece into the blade. It is not required when pushing to turn it as much. Also by pushing you can see the blade better.Chuck D
When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

by RolfOur Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.

by RolfThere may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...-

by NC ScrollerDon’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.
