Hi,

I am a newbie to scroll sawing and also this forum and I have a few questions on getting started.

Firstly I bought an entry level scroll saw ten days ago. A Ryobi 125w 405mm and also some pin-less blades of varying types and sizes and I would like to begin scrolling; my aim is to make jigsaw puzzles, wall and word art but I need to practice before I attempt anything for real.

What type of wood and what type of blade should I use for practice?

I apologize if this is a question that has been asked and answered a thousand times before.

Thank you In advance.
