Since I got my DeWalt scroll saw, I've been able to really expand my skills. I first started with peace signs and hearts, and evolved from there. I serialize all of my work, so as of 1/2/17, I have almost completed #125.
I draw my design on a sanded piece of quarter inch plywood, which takes about 3 to 4 hours. It's easy to do while watching a ball game. Once the drawing is finalized, I cut it on the scroll saw. This also takes about 3 hours, depending on the detail, of course. Some pieces I can cut it in one long cut, preserving the negative image. Other pieces require the blade to be removed many times. Once the cut is complete. I sand the piece, both front and back.
Now is when phase II of imagination comes in - what you gonna do with it? Type of background, no background, stained, painted, color, size, shape, etc.. Sky's the limit, really.
