    Default Trinket Box

    DSC00670.jpgDSC00671.jpg Just something to share.

    This box is made from silky oak, river red gum and bass wood. The red gum is recycled from a 100 year old shearing shed. The inlay is bevel cut using a #3 Pegus blade on a Tru Pro scroll saw. It is finished with linseed oil.

    Beautiful work John.
    That's got to be the nicest scroll saw box I've seen here. Well done.

    I haven't seen many scroll saw boxes, but I know when I see something special and that Sir is SPECIAL.

    Thanks again for the encouraging compliments.

    Unfortunately for me I'm not very good at designing projects but when something is put in front of me I'm able to produce it. So thanks to those who do the designing.

    When I got the plans for this box there was a comment that read something like this. No other machine is able to do what a scroll saw can do. Amongst other projects I have attempted this box for me is quite outstanding. To be able to make such tight turns as well as make bevel inlay cuts is really pushing the boundrys but it can be done. It is also the safest machine that I have ever used and this includes simple tools like a hammer and a screw driver. I have had some nasty wounds from both these but not even a scratch from a scroll saw.

    I am really amazed at what can be done with such a small saw and really do enjoy exploring it's capabilities. The other plus is that this hobby doesn't cost and arm and a leg.

    Thanks Entnood

    The pattern came from the book "Fresh Designs for Woodworking". The book has many patterns in it. Usually if I can get one or two patterns from a book I am happy. This time there are only one or two patterns that don't interest me. The author is Thomas Haapapuro.
