Let's go small today. "All of Me Loves All of You". This word art jewelry is just a little over two inches tall. It might make a nice Valentines Day gift for someone special in your life.
You will need a set of micro drill bits for this project. I used a # 71 bit. You can buy the micro drill bits at Sloan's Workshop if you don't already own a set. Sloan's Workshop has been around for years. If you have not visited their website before take a look. They have good prices on several scroll saw supplies.
The #70, #71 and #72 drill bit will all works with the #2/0 scroll saw blade I used.
Of course it's helpful to have a magnifying lamp to cut the really small areas.
Some of the interior cuts will be a challenge to make sharp turns in. Cut into the corner, back the blade up and cut into the corner from the other direction. Use the teeth of the blade to clean things up by nibbling away rough areas.
I used wood that had a busy figure. It would probably be better to use a plain looking wood for readability.
