Bear Paw Scroll Saw Pattern.


Large Bear Paw Print Scroll Saw Pattern. This paw print is nearly 16 inches long. You will need a board that is over 8 inches wide. Home Depot sells spruce panels that would probably work well for this project. One of the panels is 20 inches wide and 4 foot long. They sell for around $16.

These panels don't cut great but they are not expensive and they have the rustic look a project like this needs. That's just a suggestion for a source. You could even use Baltic Birch plywood for this project and it will look fine.

Excessive front to back blade movement on the DeWalt DW 788 scroll saw:

This video might be of interest to you if you own or plan to own a DeWalt DW 788 scroll saw. In the video, I talk about an issue that pops up from time to time. The issue is excessive front to back movement of the blade. I receive email from DeWalt owners asking how much movement is normal. I thought it would make the discussion easier if I had a video to show what normal looks like.

Exciting News. We have another giveaway for this month.


Stephen over at Bear Woods recommended that we do a giveaway in conjunction with the Midwest Scroll Saw and Woodworking Trade Show. You do not have to be at the show to win.

We will have three winners.
#1 will receive a $300 gift certificate from Bear Woods sponsored by the Scrolsaw Workshop
#2 will receive a $150 gift certificate from Bear Woods sponsored by Bear Woods.
#3 will receive an incredible scrolled piece of art by Charles Dearing. This artwork will be cut live at the show. After the show, it will be packaged and sent to the winner. You will love this artwork.

The contest is open to the world. Enter once per day.
The entries will end 7/31/2018 at midnight. Winners will be drawn during the show.
We will try to stream the drawing live if we have a decent internet connection.
