The Horse Scroll Saw Portrait.


This pattern is 8" X 10". You can cut it from 1/8" or 1/4" Baltic birch plywood and frame it. As an alternative you can cut it from a 3/4" thick board and display it as is. 



Excalibur EX-21K Available again:

Many of you know that the Excalibur EX-21 scroll saw has not been available for several months. It has been difficult to get the official word if it had been discontinued. I had recently heard rumors that General International would begin shipping the saw again this year.

Earlier today I received an email from a reader stating that the Home Depot web page was showing the Excalibur EX-21K as available for order. I looked and it does appear they are available for ship to store pick-up.  

They are also showing as available on Rockler's web page. The price at both locations is $899.99.

This is very good news for the scroll saw community. Having options is always good. The Excalibur is a very well made machine and it's loss would have been unfortunate.
