Jesus Loves Me This I Know, For The Bible Tells Me So

Jesus Loves Me This I Know For The Bible Tells Me So
This unique design came from an older (Spring 2015 Issue 58) of @scrollsawwoodworking by @foxchapelpublishing
I photocopied the pattern and attached it to a leftover piece of 3/4 inch Oak laminated cabnit grade plywood with clear packing tape. I then used my @seycoscrollsaw Scrollers Drill to drill all my pilot holes.
I originally took this piece to @klingsporswoodworkingshop for my demo and brought it back home and finished it on my @deltamachinery Scroll Saw with number 5 ultra reverse tooth blades.
I then removed the pattern and sanded it smooth with 180 grit Klingspor Sandpaper.
I stained it with @minwaxusa wood stain and then when it dried, I gave it several coats of @rustoleum clear gloss for a finish!
This was a very fun project! And it brings back memories of my Grandmother singing Bible Hymns to me when I was little. Swipe to see all pics!

That's a lot of holes and blade changes, nicely done

Just some interesting information about the song -

The Jesus Loves Me song (actually originally a poem for comforting a dying child) was written by Susan Warner in the mid 1800's. The Warner family lived on Constitution Island, located on the East side of the Hudson River across from the West Point Military Academy.
