This optical illusion is 10" X 8". It is two layers with the backer board painted black
The pattern is relatively easy to cut. There are a few sharp points that need some care. As you cut, some of the pieces will get a bit fragile.
When you get to the point that the spirals are starting to get weak, you need to get your fingers up close to the blade and assist the weak pieces by holding them down.
Another option is to leave the waste pieces that you just cut in the cutout next to the current cut. The waste will add stability as you cut.
I used a #3 scroll reverse blade for this project. I don't normally recommend a blade but in this case the small sharp points are easier to cut with a small blade.
How about two patterns for the price of one?

If you download the optical illusion pattern above you can download this pattern for half price. Half of nothing is nothing. If you average the price of both patterns you are getting two patterns for an average price of nada. Nada is the same as zilch. If you divide zilch by zero you get nothing. See how the math works. Don't pass this deal up. It won't last long.

Delta Power Tools 40-694 20 In. Variable Speed Scroll Saw
The Delta 40-694 is back down to $393 on Amazon. It is down from a high of $536 last week. I don't know if we will see the low again of $299 but fingers crossed. Even at $393 this is a quality saw and a very good value.
