Let me be the first to say job well done!!! Not only did you do a good job with the pictures but the mirror came out great. All that hard work payed off. The cuts are nice and crisp and the finish on it brings it out the color in the wood. Is it stained?? what did you use for woods and the finish?? I see Neil types faster than me. So I am the second.John T.

Wow, Wow, Wow
Beautiful wood, great pattern, EXCELLENT scroll work. As my teenage daughter would say "Kewl, you da bomb!""Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

Well done, Evie! It's gorgeous. I wouldn't have the patience to cut something like that.

Nice work, Evie!
It looks like a burl or some kind of stressed wood. The color is basically right for Black Acacia, which is indeed common in California, but the figure is much wilder than you would probably find in a regular board. The pics are rather too small to really say. Is it possible to take another, quite close up, of the flat surface of the shelf -- where thecamera is close enough that the board fills the frame?
Here's an image of black acacia in one of my favorite settings (I didn't make this):

Reply to rbi Hawk scroll saw springHi Tango. What model scroll saw do you have? I know the model I bought used is a 226-M. I can't find any information on it because it'd so old. Right now I'm trying to determine the H.P. of the motor used to run these scroll saws. Can you look on yours to see what H.P. voltage, and rpm the motor is?...

Reply to Rikon Air Cleanerby will8989He did therapy for 4 weeks then at home for another 2 to get his legs ready for the surgery. The therapist called today her first inhome appointment is Thursday. Hopefully the other knee will be within a few weeks. He has an amazing resolve so I expect him not to need the walker or cane in 2 weeks....
