cutting boards, long grain or end grain. Small to medium sized boxes. Picture frames. If you turn, toy tops, small bowls. Also like the idea of the “jump” game like cracker barrel has, or tic-tac-toe. -- Adrian ..... The 11th Commandment...."Thou Shalt Not Buy A Wobble Dado" |

You can also do scroll-saw ornaments and trinkets. Simple 4” or 6” round disk with a scroll sawing inside, could be animals or a theme (Halloween, Xmas, etc). You could leave them as the single sheet and treat them as window/wall hangings or back them and use them as coasters or hot-plates or just ornaments. -- Rich, anybody want a peanut? |
