This Tiger made from the burl of a Manitoba Maple was one of my first very intricate scroll saw projects. |
|
| This cat in a heart was a special request. |

This butterfly bowl has to be one of the most difficult scroll saw projects I have done yet. There are eight side pieces each with a side bevel of 22.5 degrees, and a bottom bevel of 15 degrees. Getting the angles just right can very taxing. | |
| This basket, although the side panels are more intricate, is easier to assemble. The handle is made from 3 millimeter bending plywood that is stained to match the wood color used for the side panels. |

Here is another project that was more time consuming rather than difficult. The one thing I did find is that the Arabia wood that I used is very hard. I needed to change blades about every half hour. | |
| One of my favorite projects to do are feathers. I have several designs now and can mix and match patterns. If I cut several feathers from different types of wood I can trade elements from one feather to another. For example, this feather has added small feathers and tip design. |

This project was very much like doing a jigsaw puzzle. First I had to cut out all the little pieces. Then the pieces are stained their appropriate color. During the reassembly process the various pieces are glued together onto the plague. After the glue has dried several coats of clear varnish is applied. | |
|
This scroll saw heart box is not actually made from interwoven wood pieces. Instead, there are two alternating layers that when glued together produce the heart box's unique interwoven pattern. This is not a hard project to do. It is just a very time consuming work to cut the layers. |
