These are two I did today, it would have been three but as I neared the final cut out the wood split in two. I am getting more confident now at doing this type of scroll saw work. It has had its frustration side but I feel that is all behind me now. I am not happy with the grain on the maple tiger but I quite like the grain on the parrot.

When the profile is a simple one--lines or circles--it's often prudent to cut just to the outside of the line, then sand to the line with a belt or spindle sander. This not only increases precision, but provides a smooth surface. However, I view this as a technique, not an excuse for sloppy cuttin...
