Sure why not. I guess my vase of flowers qualifies so I've done it before and didn't realize it.Attached FilesPop

I got to thinking about this and I would love to see some mini compound patterns. Something we could turn into jewelry like ear rings and pendants. There is a lady in our scrollsaw club that does ear rings at shows, but she paints them... very talented! And she makes a bundle. I'd like to try to do the same thing... but without painting... <--- I'm Horrible!

I did quite a few compound holiday ornaments last year (about 75 of them) and sold every one of them. I will be doing a lot more this year.Kevin

I tried the Diane Thompson ghouls a few years ago and that year my children bought me one of her books. I think compound cuts are fun, but I just don't have time for them, my intarsia takes it all.

I made a little candle holder a million years ago when I got my first scrollsaw. I chopped up a piece of 2X4. I did just grab a book from the scratch and dent sale at Fox Publishing. There are a few projects in there I like. I wouldn't mine an article on a project like the flowers and vase that Pop made.Jim

Part of my problem may have been covered by your number 7. Tried pine thinking it would be easy to cut but now realize the grain may have...

Reply to Eagleby Sandy OaksI agree, a beautiful piece and wonderful cutting. Years ago, my father had Alzheimer. The last six months we had him in the VA center in St. Cloud MN. His wood work shop is still in MN. I could not take it down to TN....

Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?by JimernThe best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
