r/Scrollsaw

Just finished this for a friend whose dog recently passed. She asked me to make as a gift for her husband who really loved the little guy.

Just finished this intarsia bull head.

Used a mix of woods for the different tones and cut each piece separately before fitting it together. The horns and facial curves needed a bit of adjusting to get everything sitting right, especially with the grain direction.

I usually design my own scroll saw/intarsia pieces with the cutting and fit in mind before I start building them.

Pretty happy with how this one came out.

This is my first signature piece I've made, and it is one-of-a-kind! I designed it by hand, picked out the woods, cut, shaped and assembled it without the use of CNC or laser

I have no idea how often it was used, or how long its sat since it was last used. I have alot of experience with other power tools, but i know nothing about scroll saws, is there anything I should do to take care of this little saw? I know its just a cheap old saw, but I want to take care of it as I know its original owner did.

(Photo obviously not of my own saw, but just wanted to add it for context, this is the exact same make and model)

This was a fun challenging project with cherry and
Afromosia as the background
