This was a pattern by my good friend Gloria Bryan (her patterns can be found in The Wooden Teddy Bear with the prefix KC). The wood was a gift from another buddy, Barry (bearfretworks) and I believe it's Sapelle (African Mahogany). I just winged it for the outside at about a 35° angle freehand.

you did that sapele proud! Very nice Jedi, very nice!
What did you use, if anything, for a backer?
Just remembered that sapele was prettyy wide. what are the dimensions?"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."

I do like that, Kevin.
The sapele has a very interesting grain. Have you thought of incorporating a piece into a project which features the American flag?

Thanks Gill and Barry. Believe it or not Gill, the flag idea did cross my mind with the grain pattern in this piece.
I just used a piece of black felt for the background Barry. It measures about 9ish" X 13ish" (how's that for precise measurements, hehehe). I have plans for the other little oddities you sent me as well, stay tuned!Kevin

Originally posted by ozarkhillbillyKevin, that is one nice looking bird, interesting piece of wood also, what does it compare to for density?
This was a very easy piece of wood to scroll. It was about 1/2" thick and I used a #3 FD-SR blade. I only used one blade on the entire cutting which took me about an hour and a half of cutting time (about 100 cuts total). It cuts like butter. It's comparable to regular mahogany (sometimes referred to as "genuine mahogany").Kevin

Kevin,
AWESOME Eagle! As always, Great cutting! Great subject matter, as you couldn't tell. I like the border just freestyled. Keep up the great work!

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby cwmageeThe last time I visited with Denny Winter 2020, I had an opportunity to try out the PEGA Saw that Denny has set up in his store. I was extremely impressed with the saw performance. It will be the saw that replaces my EX21 when I need a replacement. When I visite Denny I was considering purchasing it...

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby Jim McDonaldWhen I worked retail, we would have products plainly labeled "One rebate per address". And people would go ballistic six weeks later when their claims for three or four got shot down.
Can't imagine if it had been in small print like the ads of today.-

by mccrookstonFirst time posting.
I have a Pegas Scroll Saw that is almost 2 years old.
I saw about 1-2 hours a night right now and the speed will slow down and speed up on its own.
Sometimes it will run full speed for a week and then switch to slow for a week.
Any ideas on what might be causing...-

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby will8989That is the one store I physically get sick as soon as I walk in. The odor of rubber is overwhelming and I’m good for 3 minutes before I have to leave. Sure glad other stores aren’t like that. Hmmm maybe my bank balance would be higher if they were.

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby Bill WilsonI wonder if their effort to offer better quality products may have something to do with it. Seems like they want to market themselves as something more than just a cheap tool supplier. Maybe reducing the number of things eligible for the big discount coupons is part of a campaign to change their image....
