Finally Done With The Cutting

[Paul Douglass]

Been doing a lot of scrolling lately... Just finished cutting this one, now I have to finish and put it together... Layers will be stained different colors I guess. Here are the first two layer. There are eight layers total.



Each layer is different and you keep cutting and stacking.. until you have all eight cut... It got pretty boring and will get more so as I sand and finish each layer...

I used Baltic Birch Plywood. In the pictures I posted, the patterns are still clued to the wood, that is the reason it looks white.. Thanks all for the nice comments... takes some of the pain out of the boring....

Speechless...

These patterns are called Mandalas and they are available on Etsy in scroll saw and CNC capable files...

I showed my wife and her only comment was "how would you dust that?" She's got a point...

Here is what a finish stained one looks like: the picture is from Etsy...

Beautiful work Paul. I love to scroll saw, but tend to prefer work that doesn't take me nearly forever to complete. I do really appreciate those that can do projects like this though.

Nice to a practical one around isn't it.

I might suggest framing it and putting a glass front on it to reduce the issue? You can get non-reflective ("museum") glass or similar polycarb (less reflective more scratch prone) for not to much from framing supply places.

Wow! That's amazing. I'd be worried that the sanding would cause 'issues' with my fat fingers.

I use a 7" "Mac Mop" mounted on my Delta Mini Lathe... Have not lost a piece yet..

Yep... some thing like a shadow box...
