Here is a pic of Lavita's latest effort. This is a pattern that has been around for a long time. Background is mahogany, fretwork is Maple both 1/4 & 1/8 inch.

Good Job Rob! Shouldn't the "Thys" and "Thine" be capitalized?

Do not know... She followed the pattern. I am sure that in a strict sense they should be.

Look at all those inside cuts WOW!!! That is the second one of the Lord's prayers' I have seen. A fellow in my wife's scroll saw club made the same one. Took him a long time to complete and he was offered a lot from someone to buy, but it was a labor of love for him. Great work!!! Thanks for sharing.

Todd, it reads just like Matthew 6, 9-13, King James version reads, capitals all in the correct place, I guess if the words are used separately or at the beginning of a sentence, they should be capitalized but it looks like all is well. When we refer to Him or His name in our writing it should be capitalized.

Talk about a labor of love.....mighty inspired work you did there! I've told my wife and a good wwing friend a dozen times that I've never had much urge to do all that scroll work that some people like to do, but I think you just changed my mind.

Thanks Bobby. My N.A.S. has them capitalized.

Rob, please tell Lavita she did a great job!

This is awesome !!!! I'd say the "effort" paid off. :) I hate to ask, do you have any idea how many hours were involved?

Fantastic - - You get the idea :D

Lavita did a superb job on that - did the words proud.

I'll say it again - how do you folks have the patience to do this kind of work?

David, The only thing that was timed, and by accident, was the glueing on of the letters, three hours. You had to hold them in place for a short time before you could move on. 2 People, 3 hours, killing was an option, but not divorce :D

A scroller would ask the same question to a cabinet maker about all the board prep just to get it to S4S, book matching panels, cutting dovetails. It's a great outlet for people that do not have too much space and still want to do some woodworking.

WOW! That has got to be the most beautiful scroll piece I've seen in years. Someone has lots of patience at the scroll saw.

Scale of 1 to 10 ---- That's a 9.999 (Only the Lord could score a 10)

Again, magnificent work, something to be treasured for generations to come.

I don't have the patience for dovetails either :rolleyes:
I admire anyone that can do that kind of scroll work or the carving that Wolf does - I've never tried but I'm certain it's not a good fit for me.

From one scroller to another I say job very well done. Did you cut multiples? Lavita what brand of SS are you using? Your project is outstanding.

An outstanding and beautiful piece of scrolling. I just came from a show where that would almost certainly have done very well in the scroll work category.

That's awesome! I haven't got anywhere near brave enough to try that yet. One my my current "to do" projects is the Pledge of Allegiance. It's the one in the shape of the USA with the words in the stripes.
