I just completed my first 3D creature. It's kind of a Dr. Suess looking deer. The pattern is placed on two sides of a three quarter by one and a half by five inch piece of pine. You have to cut the three quarter inch side first which makes the piece go through the saw on it's side. It took what seemed like forever to get through this part of the project. I have a 16' Mikota scroll saw and I used Oleson crown tooth blades, #5. Phew! The results is a freestanding little deer . It looks like it's been carved. I'm new to scroll sawing and would like to know if the 'slowness' of this is normal or if I'm using the wrong blade. You can find these patterns on line at Uncle John's General Store, they really are amazing. If anyone has any tips on these tpe of projects I would love to hear from you. Thanks!! :
