Compound-cut Reindeer pattern.
Hi,
Many, very many, moons ago I saw and used a pattern for cutting reindeer using a compound-cut. There were two sizes in the pattern.The family have now asked for several of the smaller ones but I'm unable to find the pattern nor the magazine. I think it was "Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts". Checking the magazine's site Issue 13 Holiday 2003 has a reference to "Cutting 3D Reindeer - page 26". I am wondering if anyone has this issue and might be able to let me have a copy of the pattern.
Thank you.
Bob H.

If you save the reindeer 3D pattern as a photo (jpeg) you can print them of as photos of different sizes.
I make 3D reindeer each year and give them away as I go about my business leading up to Christmas.
Last year I gave away 130. Some I cut-out on the bandsaw others scroll saw others I use both.
To finish them I have made a flap wheel using emery strips to fit my drill press.
Then dip them a couple of times in a thinned down clear finish and leave to drain.

Hi.
A picture to show that I'm on the way with a few cuts. The cuts are just off the saw so need a coating of Danish or similar. The deer on the left is an original, some 8ish years old now, and slightly smaller than the new cuts but no bother with that. For the past couple of years, at Xmas, we have had reindeer races and last Xmas it was suggested that we should have a trophy. I made one, as a "perpetual trophy" - handed on each year - and suggested that the winner should have a smaller one with the winner's name.
Thanks again for the pattern.
Regards.
Bob H.

Well done Bob.I have made several of these myself & find they are good sellers & make great ornaments at Christmas time ,I usually tie a piece of ribbon around their necks tied in a bow & put a small screw eye between their horns for hanging from the xmas tree etc, Cheers Peter.

Great work on the little deers!!!
Watched a fellow do one of these at a bandsaw demo once. Don't know what the wood was but it was soft
and the time taken to do the job was astonishingly fast.
