The wedding anniversary is one of the most significant events in a couple's life. It celebrates a commitment to each other that was promised on their wedding day.
There are 75 patterns in the book. Obviously one for each anniversary year between 1 and 75. This is a large plaque. It is ~11" tall and 10" wide. I am showing the simulated image with a red painted backer board.

What is the oldest wedding anniversary?
The world's oldest married couple aged 110 and 103, say life and marriage are all about being happy… West Yorkshire couple Karam Chand aged 110 and his 103-year-old wife Kartari celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary, making them the world's oldest married couple.

Beginner Tip: Perfect sharp turns.
Turning a scroll saw blade to cut is another direction requires some practice. Even with practice, the turn will be somewhat rounded. The blade has to remove material to be able to make the turn so it won't be a perfectly square transition.
In the photo above I have a square pattern that I want to have nice sharp corners. I will be cutting in the direction of the red arrows.
When I get to the end of the line I don't try to make the turn. I keep cutting into the waste area of the wood. I circle around in the opposite direction and come back to the line perfectly lined up.
As long as I intercept the line on point I will have a perfectly sharp corner. I simply use the same technique at each corner until I get back to the beginning.
Not every corner will need to be this perfect but when they do the above technique is the best alternative.
One last reminder:
October 12 and 13, 2019. The Artistry in Wood Show is quite simply one of the most amazing woodworking events that I have ever attended. The level of skill at this show is world-class. When I walked in the door for my first visit my jaw dropped. You seldom have a chance to see this much beautiful art in one location. I am really looking forward to this weekend.
I will be the guest of Bear Woods and Grobet USA in their booth. If you plan to attend the sho I would love for you to stop and say hello.
Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns:
I am still making good progress on ornament patterns. I should be able to get caught up today. If you have orders in the queue, keep your eye on your email inbox.
The price is $1 per name with a 5 name minimum. I keep the price as low as possible
because I want everyone to have a chance to make these ornaments for family and friends.
You only pay after you have received the order and are
100% satisfied with the patterns. Invoice included with
the pattern email. Pay by credit card(secure Paypal), check, or cash.
The patterns will be emailed to you after they are completed.
Please allow up to a week for delivery.
You can use last names on the ornaments if you like but remember that the more letters the more
difficult they are to cut. Ten letters and up gets pretty small. If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out.
