This project was one of my hardest to cut. I tried cutting this project about four times over the last three years.The most challenging part was the strings, each slot is only .030 wide and there is over 100 slots to make the strings.The project is a pic of my brother ” left ” and his friend playing their guitars at a family cookout 3yrs. ago. I gave this project to my brother as a christmas present this year. The pic is 8×10 in a 11×14 frame with a velvet mat. The wood is 1/4 oak and I used a 2/0 sprial blade to cut this project. I cut this project on my Hawk scroll saw. The project took over 20 hrs. and over 200 cuts to complete this project. Thank you for viewing my project.

Very nice work! I just recently received a scroll saw from Christmas from my wife and I am currently looking for a “beginner’s” project to try it out. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to create something similar to what you have created.

Hello Todd from Ky
You do great work. I would have given up after the first try. Your brother is lucky to get such a great present for Christmas.
Regards, Scott

Now that’s some scroll work. Or is that “fret” work? Very nice!

Got to agree with Mike on that. Impressive bit of work. Don’t know if you seen any of Jeff Zafino’s patterns, but you are getting close to the work that he has done.
How much trouble did you have getting used to the spiral blades? I find that I just can’t get a nice clean finish with them, always need to do a lot of sanding or filing, and they make straight lines even more difficult.
