Project
Our club has been cutting THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE plaques and given to the local police department for members who have also been in the military. Faye has been working with a lady that works with several police and fireman department. She and Faye have decided on a pattern that includes an Eagle and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE which will include all 1st responders. The patterns will be provided on our dfwscrollers.net web site under patterns. This will be a continuing project. OUR PATTERN IS APPROXIMATE SIZE 8X5 INCHES.
ASK THE EXPERTS
Jo Ann has a project that she added hummingbirds on a pattern for a trivet. She stained the hummingbird figures so that they would show up against the oak wood. She was advised that in order to stain use an exacto knife to score around your inset piece before staining. This eliminates stain running in the other parts of the wood. Jo Ann cut around the hummingbirds with the scrollsaw, so this would leave only small areas that she left to eliminate the design falling got. Scoring those small areas would help in the stain running. Great hint.
