This gender announcement stork is just over ten inches tall. He is cut from 1/4" thick wood.
The toddler Tray Pizzle is 10" X 8". These simple tray puzzles are almost always a hit with toddlers. You can use 1/4" plywood to keep the cost low. If you choose to paint the puzzle use child-safe paint.
Where to find thin boards
One of the most difficult problems new scroller face is where to find thin boards for patterns that call for 1/4" thick boards. If you do not like to purchase online then your choices can be very limited. When you go to the big box hardware stores all you see is 3/4" thick boards for the most part.
Home Depot does sell thin craft boards if you know where to look. They hide the thin stuff on the bottom shelf like in the photo below. Go to the aisle where the boards are and look at the lower shelves.
Their selection is not great but it can get you started. They usually sell poplar and red oak. Most of the thin boards are not that wide. I think 6" is as wide as they get. 6" wide boards can be glued up to make wider boards.
If you are okay with ordering online then https://ocoochhardwoods.com/ has a great selection and fair prices. When you visit their site click the "Project Ready Wood", link. I have no affiliation with Ocooch but I have used them for years and have never been disappointed. I order all of my Baltic birch plywood from them. I go through a lot of this plywood because I use it in my laser.
If you have the option you will get much better wood from Ocooch than you get from Home Depot. Home Depot may eliminate the shopping close so that will probably be less expensive.
Shipping wood is expensive. If I order just this single board the
shipping to my house is over $11. I never order a single board.
If I order 8 of these boards the shipping is $16.66.
$12 per sheet of 12 coins plus $3.50 shipping
Inlay with a 1" Forstner Bit.
