this was a task , im not happy with the choice of wood, but happy with the end results, this was from a pattern by jacob fowler, i finally got flying dutchman blades and what a difference , i want to do one like this in curly maple, any tips using this type of wood , like is it hard to scroll, will the blades have a tendency to follow the curl, what blades would be best? etc.

Lefty - you shouldn't have any trouble working with curly maple. Just keep the speed down and your choice of FD UR blades keep you straight and clean.
Great cuttingFred

I have recently written to the editor and made her aware of the two recent posts and asked her to chime in and give us their input on how to handle the scanning of the patterns. I have not heard back from Kaylee nor has she chimed in yet.
If you are not happy I suggest you email too. ...-

by will8989But Rolf are they copying them on home size copy machine and/or using programs to enlarge or shrink them? So I guess no one at Fox reads their forum anymore and knows what is being talked about?

It would be truly helpful if all publications were to clearly state on each pattern "enlarge pattern by x% for full size" or something like that which would clue the user in. But I'm like Rolf....I change the size of every pattern to get what I want.

by RolfI agree with you Mark, I am constantly changing or adapting my patterns to suit my taste or the size of the wood that is available to me. Thinking about electronic versions of the patterns, that would be great. But very hard to control. It amazes me how many people have no scruples about sharing....
