Second Pattern Today
I put together a group of twenty-two Christmas ornament designs. They are a mix of fretwork and Christmas-themed patterns. Ornaments can be cut from 1/4" thick Baltic birch, but they look especially nice when cut from beautiful hardwoods.
The second pattern is Santa ready to deliver his toys. This is a large pattern. Santa stands at 15.5" tall. It will take some study and thoughtful cuts on a 16" scroll saw. It can be done, but you may need to use a spiral blade for a few of the cuts. I am not good with spirals, so I generally stay with a flat blade unless I have no other options.
I sit at the scroll saw 99% of the time. Larger patterns are the exception. I find it easier to stand when cutting large boards. Some people fatigue quickly when standing, and with a large board, that can make it an even bigger issue. I am one of those people, so I just take breaks. Unless you have limited time its better to take a break and come back to the cut later. This pattern calls for a 3/4" board for the front layer. You can make the cut easier if you use 1/4" for both layers.
