Very Basic Winter Star Scroll Saw Pattern.

I was asked to design a very basic level holiday pattern. They wanted it to use easy to source 3/4" thick wood. I was asked to limit the number of interior cuts. With all these limitations they also want it to look nice. This is what I came up with.

The only challenges with this pattern are to make sure the blade is 90 degrees to the table so the pieces slide out smoothly. The next tricky technique for a new scroller is turning the sharp angles without rounding them out too much. This is a rustic decoration. You don't need perfect cuts. If you need some tips on turning corners then check out my video named "The most important Scroll Saw Technique"


Quick Stocking Stuffers: Make your own Pattern.


My free online pattern maker will allow you to knock out stocking stuffers quickly. The program does two things. It makes personalized desk name plates and key fobs. 

Here is a link to a video showing how it works. It is very basic and easy to use.

Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns are ready to order:

I am ready to start taking Personalized Christmas Ornament Pattern orders.

I can do first or last names but remember that more than ten letters will be more difficult to cut.

The order form will take up to 20 names for people and 5 names for pets. If you need more than 20/5 then start a second order.

You will not pay until you have the patterns and are 100% happy with them. There will be an invoice sent with the patterns to your email. You will have the option to pay securely with a credit card or send a check to the included address.

I am shooting for a three-day turnaround but that may be difficult for a few days until I get all the kinks worked out. I'll do my best. You can set a bookmark for each of the order forms but I will post them almost every day until Christmas.
