New Pattern Alert! Mallard Duck Pattern by Scott McKenna

NEW PATTERN! 

We've seen and heard the requests for new patterns like Steve. Well, the Mallard Duck pattern, designed and graciously shared by Scott McKenna is live on the archive! Scott is a talented scroll saw and fine artist and it is a pleasure to see his work and share this beautiful pattern. Even better, it is duck season! What a fitting time for a duck pattern.

Mallard Duck by Scott McKenna

When I first started working with a scroll saw, I turned to where so many others did… Steve Good’s Scrollsaw Workshop. His patterns taught me so much with a scroll saw. Now, my background was in fine art, not woodworking, so pattern designing was something that really peaked my interest. Drawing a viable design with no ‘floating’ parts is an exciting challenge…

Personally, I favor fretwork. Complex designs with numerous, small cutouts. So naturally, a lot of my designs reflect that. I’m constantly trying to challenge myself. 

My bread and butter is Pegas spiral blades. Most of my designs have that in mind. It reminds me of drawing with a pen, able to easily move in every direction.

Ducks are my favorite animal. If you follow me, you’ll see a lot of duck themed art. For this pattern of a mallard duck, I’d likely use a size #1 Pegas spiral blades.

Bauble Bobble Babble - 3D Affect Christmas Ornament

There are some big questions we never really get answers to. Like:

What if someone made a bobble head that was six feet high, would it feel like it is going to attack if you turn your back to it? Or would seventy-three six inch bobble heads with Christmas baubles as their heads be scarier, even if they can't move? That is a lot of bobble bauble. 

Well, I doubt we'll ever get an answer to that big bobble question, but enough bobble bauble babble and onto cutting some fun Christmas baubles with this new 3D affect bauble ornament scroll saw pattern! 

Download the 3D Affect Bauble Pattern

This is a two-piece pattern. The front and backer can be cut separately then glued together. Paint the back a different colour than the front or use two different tone woods for a 3-D affect! 

Custom name option coming very soon! Keep an eye out for the email and blog announcements!

Need some good glue? Visit the selection at Bear Woods!

Options & Customizations

Merry, Bright, X-Mas, 2026

Like the Angel and Reindeer patterns, there are Merry, Bright, X-Mas, 2026, and Blank options. 

Don't want a word or don't want to scroll the word? Don't cut out the inner white rectangle! 

One Layer, Painting, & Multi-Medium

Just want to cut the front? Then just cut the front! 

Just want to cut the backer? Cut out only the backer and wood burn or paint, decorate, and get creative with it!

Custom Names

Custom name options coming very soon! The instructions on how to order custom names will be easy to follow and announced on the blog and email list. Please note there will be a small charge for custom name ornaments.

Fun Historical Fact!

The abbreviation “X-Mas” dates back to the early church. The “X” comes from the Greek letter “X” or in English spelling “chi”, which is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ. In the English alphabet Christós or in the Greek Χριστός.

Thus X became an abbreviation for Christ, and as early as the 1100-1500’s, variations of X-Mas are documented being used as abbreviations for “Christmas” which comes from the words “Christ” and “Mass”.

Maybe someone needs to make Bobble Baubles, you know, mini bobble heads that can be hung as Christmas ornaments. (If you think of a pattern, let us know!)

Sweetly scrolling o'er the planes (of wood!) Angel Ornament!

Angels we have heard on high, sweetly scrolling o'er the plains (of wood!)

Just like the reindeer pattern, there are several versions! Merry, Bright, Blank Spot, X-Mas, and 2026 options! 

You could even cut just around the outside (and the halo for the hanger) and wood burn or paint on the details. Or if you just want an angel, don't cut out the space for the word, leave it as one piece! 

Download the Angel Pattern!

Before you ask, YES, this pattern, like the others we are releasing, WILL have a custom name option. It will just look slightly different than this version in order to allow the custom names. We are only days away from releasing the custom name ornament option, so keep a lookout for the blog post / email in your inbox with how to select custom names for your patterns! 

Blades to Cut Ornaments

To reduce sanding needs as you cut your ornaments, try Modified Geometry Blades! These are the most popular Pegas blade by far, and the reverse teeth at the underside of the blade clean up the back side of your cuts as you scroll. 

Not sure what blades you might need? The Blade Selection Guide walks you through both how to choose blades, and the kind of cuts each blade is best suited for.

Stack Cuts - Multiple Ornaments at Once!

Steve Good made a video on the fundamentals of stack cuts. Learn from the master how you can make multiple ornaments at once!

NEW Christmas Ornaments 2026 - Rudy the Reindeer (& More to Come!)

Christmas Ornament Patterns 2026!!! 

First up, Rudy the Reindeer! 

Hello Scroll Saw Workshop! This is Julia from Bear Woods. Since Bear Woods has taken on stewardship of the Scroll Saw Workshop, the #1 request has been for new patterns. Our response: We are working on it behind the scenes.

Well, you've been asking about Christmas ornaments more than any other pattern and we are SO excited to announce brand-new 2026 Christmas ornament patterns! 

Steve's Christmas Ornaments are some of the favorites every year, and we have been able to come up with some new patterns for 2026. 

Rudy the Reindeer - Free Pattern Download!

And before you ask, YES, all the ornament patterns will have an option for custom names, just like Steve has done.

The first pattern is Rudy the Reindeer. I drew this one myself, so I hope you enjoy it! I have a little stuffed reindeer I knitted a scarf for in high school who lives on my book case. I was trying to think of what pattern I could make for the Scroll Saw Workshop, and saw my Rudy Reindeer. He always makes me smile, so I tried my hand at drawing him for an ornament. Then my brother Isaac scrolled Rudy for me as a demo! (Yes, you will be able to put custom names in the reindeer ornament and the other ornaments we are releasing!)

We just got in the Mascot benchtop mini drill press at Bear Woods and Isaac used it to drill the pilot holes for Rudy the Reindeer. It is so cute and takes up such a small foot print in the shop. For small pilot holes, we have micro drill bits and micro drill bit adapters for any drill or rotary tool. 

While drilling the pilot holes in Rudy, Isaac and I made a Little Drill Press parody for fun! Do enjoy our sibling sing-along. 

We used a random piece of wood we had and the new Mascot Heat Transfer Tool to transfer the pattern from the regular piece of printer paper right onto the wood. (Video demo coming soon!) 

Then Isaac cut out Rudy the Reindeer on the scroll saw. In the Bear Woods workshop, we have the Pegas 21" Scroll Saw and Isaac has put a LOT of hours on it since we got it back in 2019. He used Modified Geometry #3 blades so the reverse teeth on the back side of the blade would clean up the underside of the cuts and reduce sanding since we were using a random, fairly splintery piece of wood we found sitting around in the shop.

One of my favorite parts of the Reindeer pattern is there are several options. There will, of course, be the custom name option, but we also will have options some general holiday options, with and without the year: 

• Merry
• Bright
• X-Mas
• Rudy
• 2026

We will be releasing the free Christmas ornament patterns without custom names first, and within the week will release the custom name option along with instructions. Please note there is a small charge for custom name patterns! 

Our Rudy came out very cute! He needs a little sanding and I think I might shape him with our Marathon Rotary Tool to give him a little extra something. He is going to look so cute on our tree this year! We were also thinking, the ornaments would look so cool if you just cut around the outside, no inside cuts, and then wood burned all the details / words. You could mix mediums even further with some colour! Lots of wood burner / accessory options available at Bear Woods!

My dad, Stephen, who was good friends with Steve, suggested mentioning at least 5 times that the custom name ornaments will be available very soon. I managed to mention it 7 times, so dad, if you're reading this, I think I did good.

Rudy the Reindeer - Free Pattern Download!

Keep a look out for more ornament patterns this week! Also, I would LOVE to see the ornaments you make! Tag us on socials and/or email us at ssworkshop@bearwood.com photos of your ornaments. And yes, we will have custom name options for the ornament patterns! Keep an eye on the blog and emails, they are coming very soon!

The International Reach of the Scroll Saw Workshop

Community spotlights from scrollers around the world, and some great animal patterns!

Deer Family Silhouette Pattern

When we think of the Scroll Saw workshop, we first think of Steve. It’s his blog, his passion, after all. One of the pleasures in preserving Steve’s legacy has been seeing just how far his impact extends. Pepi from France wrote in about how because of Steve, she had a job she could do with her disability. Barbara wrote in from South Africa. Richard started a group of scrollers in England. Steve was from Indiana, USA, but like a stone tossed in a still lake, the ripples of his dedication, teaching, and care still radiate outward.

From France: Here is Pepi’s Story

English

Hello everyone... thank you for keeping alive what Steve built. I’ve followed Steve since the very beginning; I gave my all to what I love. I am a 69-year-old woman with a disability, and of course, it is thanks to Steve that I have my job. I’ve never seen anyone like him; he was the one who gave me the joy of working, but I’m staying on this blog in his memory. I am in France, and a huge THANK YOU to him... Pepi.

French

Bonjour a tous ...merci de maintenir ce qu'il a construit. J’ai suivi Steve depuis c debu j'en et fait oui mais tous donnee a tous ce que j'aime. J'ai 69 ans suis une femme handicape et biens sur cest grace a luis que jai ma sic. Des comme luis j'en et jamais vue pour moi c fini il et plus la.... pour me fair avoir cette joie de travailler. Mais je reste dans ce blog en son souvenir. Je suis en france et un grand MERCI POUR LUIS....PEPI.  

3D Layered Giraffe Family

South Africa, Barbara

I found Steve Good’s site after my husband gave me a scroll saw. When I asked him why, his answer was, “You are always fiddling with wood”.   When I asked him, “What do I do with this?” he said, “Go to the internet and look there”.

The best thing he could have done.

The first thing I saw was a site for free, Steve Good’s, and we were not in the position to spend too much money. It was my privilege to make inventions to my husband sisters wedding for everyone at the wedding.

Regards,

Barbara 

Geometric Fox Pattern

The United Kingdom, Richard

I would just like to share the impact Steve has had on me and some of my friends. I bought a scroll saw with the idea of cutting some jigsaws with family photos on them. At the time of buying the saw, I had no idea of the potential the saw had. When set the saw up in my workshop, I looked on YouTube for tips on using the saw and of course came across some of Steve. This opened a whole new world for me in England. Scroll sawing is not as popular as in the US. After a while and following many of Steve's patterns, I joined a local Men in Sheds group, which was just starting up. When I started talking about scroll sawing, no one understood what I was talking about. I showed them some of the items I had made and Steve's great work. Now we had have small group of us that speak of little else. It was a sad day when Steve past away and between us we had a short silence to remember Steve and he is still in our thought now. 

Wishing success with the blog in the future

Best Regards

Richard Styles

I found this project really enjoyable. Even though all those enclosed bits were a challenge time wise etc.

Thank you for keeping Steve's memory going.
