Can anyone give me some companys that sell wide scroll saw wood . 1/4' x 12' x 12' is the size I really need in most hardwoods. Most companys seem to have only 6'-8' wide or plywood. Thanks

Re: scroll wood blanks
Roy, if you do not want to use plywood you are much better off gluing up you own blanks by far. First you can glue any size you want. Second you get a more stable blank. Wide boards especially that wide will cup and bow no matter what spicies it is. There are very few types of wood that wide anyway. If you use 1/4 sawn lumber you will even take out more of the cupping. To glue a blank all you need is good carpenters glue, clamps, and a way of sawing good glue joints on the edges of the boards. Today you can get a good glue joint using a good table saw blade or if you have a jointer that is the best way. Good luck JTTHECLOCKMANJohn T. -

by RolfOur Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.

by RolfThere may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...-

by NC ScrollerDon’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.
