DIY Fall Décor Scroll Saw Project
I used a scroll saw to make a fun Fall décor project. This is the process I use to make scroll saw art regardless of the picture. I get perfectly fitting pieces and artwork that JUMPS out at you by doing these couple of things. It starts with the preparing the picture and setting myself up for success. The process I show in this video can be used for any type of scroll saw project, especially ones with a lot of complex shapes. If you dig scroll saw art then check out the rest of my channel which is devoted to scroll sawing techniques and projects.
I used multiple species of wood to get the colors I want. The squirrel’s brown fur is chechen (also called black poisonwood). His light-colored fur is sycamore. I used holly for his teeth and eyes, and katalox for his nose. The acorn is made from white oak, katalox, and walnut. For the panel that holds the artwork, I used ½” thick MDF, with wenge veneer on top. Then added a maple background. I finished the project with spray lacquer.
