Love Wood
Several days ago I posted a 3D Jesus Lives scroll saw pattern. It was very popular and many of you downloaded it. Since then I have received quite a few email asking if I could design another 3D pattern that was not of a religious theme.
I kept the number of letters low so those of you who have never tried one of these patterns might give it a try. You will need a block of wood that is 1.5" X 1.5" X 5". You can either clue up a board or just use a construction grade 2x4 and cut it down to size.
I am getting several emails asking me to make this style pattern with peoples names. The problem is that they don't work well unless the number of letters is equal on each side.
