Wooden Flower Cross With Scroll Saw

It all starts out by choosing a nice pattern. Found this one by searching Google.

Glue to Work Piece

After printing out your pattern, spray the back of the image with spray adhesive. I use 3m but others will work too. Press it onto your work piece.

Drill Holes and Begin Cutting Out.

I use a small wood bit to make entry holes for my scroll saw. Make as many holes as you need.

Work From the Centre Outwards.

I always try to work from the Centre outwards as its pretty delicate.

Remove Pattern

After your all done cutting out the pattern, start removing the left over pattern. It can be difficult. I sometimes run my piece under hot water to help the glue release more easier.

Completed Piece

With all the pattern removed you get to see the final piece. I'll leave it dry for a few days then clean up a few edges left from the scroll saw. Apply a nice dark stain then a few coats of polyurethane for a nice shine and protection.
