This 8" X 10" pattern could be a nice Valentines Day gift. I included the color image for you to print for the backer. Of course you can use any backer you like.
I usually make this type of pattern 8" X 10" because it's easier to find a frame. If you use 1/8" thick Baltic Birch plywood you will find it fit's in most frames better. A lot of frames are not deep enough for 1/4" thick boards. Make sure you check the frame before you buy one.

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
Many new scrollers ask me about spiral scroll saw blades. When I try to answer their question I always mention portrait style patterns as their best use. The pattern in this post is a portrait style pattern. Not because it's a portrait though. A portrait style pattern is just a pattern of an object or person that is designed using the contrast of dark and light in the image to make the pattern.
The interior cuts of this type of pattern are usually organic/irregular shapes. Spiral blades do not track a straight line very well. Spiral blades are designed to cut in any direction. Because of this trait they will go off a pattern line with the least amount of pressure in the wrong direction. With practice you can get better at following a line but never as accurate as a straight blade.
When you use a spiral blade on a pattern like the one in this post you have the advantage of not having to turn the wood. You just move the wood in the direction you want to cut. Because the are mostly irregular shapes not one will notice if you are off the pattern line a little.
In this pattern I would use a spiral blade to cut the image of MLK then switch to a straight blade for the flag and lettering.
In the YouTube video below Dave cuts an Elvis portrait style pattern using a spiral blade. It's a good example of the proper use of the spiral. Thanks to Dave Woodworks for sharing the video.
