Miniature Birdhouses

[Sandy Oaks]

During this time of isolation, I finished 4 Miniature Birdhouses. The patterns are by Diana Thompson. The birdhouses are made from Ash and the little birds from Purpleheart....

That is quite a collection of wonderful characters.

I finally got the “Herat Trivet” hung on the wall....

[Sandy Oaks]

A wonderful theme and puzzle cutting

[Sandy Oaks]

You are right, Jim. No pot for this one....

[Sandy Oaks]

It sure is. After gluing, it makes a nice wall hanging....

I have Carole’s books and made several bowls. Steve Good mentioned that the revised book is well worth the price.

[Sandy Oaks]

Thanks Fibber. I really liked the looks of this piece....

[Sandy Oaks]

The pattern is by Sue Mey. I used 1/2" Eastern Red Cedar. It cut real easy. but I found very fragile. We will use it as a wall hanging rather than a trivet. It was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3 MGT blades. Comment welcome....

[Sandy Oaks]

That is truly a work of art

[Sandy Oaks]

I saw that on FB, but had to comment here. Truly a wonderful piece.

[Sandy Oaks]

Well Jim happy retirement. That is quite a list. You will have no problem staying busy. Cooking? What is on the menu?

[Sandy Oaks]

Even though ArtCrafters is closed, we go in and check for online orders. While here, I will work on a few scroll saw projects. Other than that, cleaning windows at home.

[Sandy Oaks]

Thanks Wayne. With the doors closed at ArtCrafters, it is a Funtime to work on the project....

[Sandy Oaks]

Yes, Randy. There are scratch marks around the blade entry hole, but that is all....

A Charles Dearing pattern found in his book " Wildlife Portraits in Wood". Cut with Pegas #1 Spiral blades on the demo Pegas saw at ArtCrafters. All ready 100 holes with many more to go....

Hi George. Good to here from you. Glad everyone is healthy except for your wife’s allergies. Get back to scrolling soon.

[Sandy Oaks]

Thanks for the info Scott. The Pegas Skip Blades seem the closest. The #2/0 is 0.0087 x 0.0236 and 28.2 TPI....

[Sandy Oaks]

Wish you the best in the new venture. Stay healthy.

Pegas does not have blades listed as “Puzzle Blades”. They do have a wide assortment in many sizes. I will check with Bob Duncan as to his recommendation....
