2 recent scroll saw projects. I think the paterns came from Steve Good. Made from scraps of unidentified wood.

Our Pappillion dog passed away after 14 years with us last year. I got this patern from Sue Mey it really captures the essence of this breed.

Cut from a 4” x 6” peice of cedar that was formally part of a dresser drawer. The patern was from Scroll Saw Village. I had to make some modifications to accomadate my material, equipment and abbilities but I hope I retained the original artists vision. The peice is curently unfinished, however I will work on that. thanks for taking a peek.

Pendants . I’m looking for some hardware to make these into necklaces. If anyone knows where to find this stuff please let me know.

A little kitten I made for the kids at the day care center. Made from a scrap of 1×4 pine. Still needs to be sanded and finished but it’s far too cold to do much more work in my shop today. The current temperature is -36C. BRRRRRRRR!!!!

Made form a patern by Steve Good

My brother in law raises these very large horses so I decided to make him, as a gift, a much smaller version that requires very little care. Made from a peice of 3/4” oak that I rescued from the burn barrell. Again I must appoligize for the extreamly poor photo quality. I had a choice between investing in a new scroll saw or a new camera and the saw won.

Made from one of Sheila Landrys designs as a gift for one of the local churches. I do wish my photography skills would improve as dramatically as my scrolling has.

This was one of the last projects I was able to make with my crappy scroll saw before it bit the dust for good. Made from a patern I got from Steve Goods site. My Christmas present to myself was a Dewalt 788 saw.

nesting serving trays made for Christmas gift. the wood was salvaged from a head board of a bed that I got for free from a local thrift shop. finish is wipe on water borne poly.

sliding lid pencil boxes made as Christmas gifts for some of the grandchildren. the 2 in the back are made from mahogony and cedar, the middle one is purple heart with an ash lid, the small one in the front is made from some kind of reclaimed wood that I can’t identify (wish I knew what it is so I could find more).

When my sister-in-law asked me to make boxes for jams and jellies that she makes and gives as gifts I said sure. Even when she told me she needed 8 of them I was undaunted. What I should have remembered (after a 40 year stint as a machinist) is how boreing production work can really be. Oh well, it did manage to use up a lot of the reclaimed material that I have in the shop and the pratice is something I can surely use.

thank god for grandchildren. they give me lot’s of excuses to do what I love doing. This is a box made of cherry with a walnut panel in the lid. The small tray that goes inside is my first attempt at 1/8” finger joints and I am pleased with the way they came out. I sure wish my photography skills were a little better

This is my first completed project useing mahogany. I found this wood somewhat difficult to work with but I do like the end result. This box is made as a gift for my great granddaughter to store her crayons.

This set of blocks was made for my good friends first grandson. the 2” square blocks were made from scrap I had hanging around the shop and they are stored in a wooden box also made from scraps. The decoration on the blocks was done by my lovley and talanted wife. On one side she used letters to spell out the babys name. On another side are pictures of the parents and grandparents. the remaining sides are colors shapes and animals. the babys name is Cayden. I sure glad it wasn’t Johnjacobjingelheimerschmidt. That would have required a lot of blocks.

the box is maple and the top and legs are gumwood stained with minwax colonial pine finished with shop made wipe on poly
