Made this for Thanksgiving, got the wood from The Woodworking Source in Mooresville, NC (first visit, really nice guy, let me dig through his scrap pile and even planed a few pieces). Sapele, maple, and either ash or oak (not sure which). Cutting to fit is hard! When I got it fitted as best I could without making it worse, I cheated and used sawdust to fill the gaps :confused_
I also went to the Klingspor event in Hickory and noticed a lot of the scroll saw stands were propped up in the back. Genius, never even thought of that. One of the guys I spoke with (gave my daughter a little wood angel, thanks if you're a member and read this) made me sick with how effortless he was able to scroll and stay exactly on the line and navigate corners and curves like it was child's play. Some of the crafts were jaw-droppingly good.
Took a while to figure out how to insert an image. I click the little camera to open a new window and select a photo, but I click the pictures and nothing happens. Guess I have to upload pics to the gallery first, then I can use them in forum posts.

Just don't show it off to any family, or EVERYONE will want one.
