Front and Top Pieces Scrollwork Cutouts

I finally finished cutting the rest of the cutouts. Trying to scroll saw through 1 1/2” of Oak is no picnic (for those of you who have never used a scrollsaw, this type of work is usually done on 1/4” thick wood). I figured that cutting both the top and front pieces at once would reduce the time required.

I'm on the fence however as to whether or not I like the results so far. There are a lot of inconsistencies in the resulting pattern that I'm not sure I can straighten out to my satisfaction. I'm considering checking to see how much it would cost to have just the front and top patterns laser cut out of 1/4”, and modifying the front and top designs accordingly to incorporate the 1/4” patterns into the 3/4” panels. I'm going to see if I can fix them with some Dremeling first.







Thanks for stopping by.
