Following some research into symbols required for the latest project, I worked on the following. Now they are ready to receive the finish:
The symbols, to be used as onlays on raised panels.
After (carefully) cutting out the shapes on the scroll saw, and some sanding to remove the blade marks, I used the Proxxon mini-router to round over the edges:
The tools used in final shaping.
Then the serious sanding started. But the results were worth the time, as my client was pleased with the results. The size was perfect (Chi-Rho is 7 inches tall), and shaping, although very simple is pleasing.
Do these qualities come through in the images? I look forward to your comments.

Yes, the quality is very obvious Al! What patience you must have.
There are too many straight lines for this simple boat builder. Ahhh, just realized that “scroll saw” must not be the fine Gramercy turning saw. Regardless of tools, beautiful work!
Thanks, Bob.
I am still not very good with the turning saw…
But Sandy’s scroll saw does a wonderful job, and sanding was a pleasure, especially while listening to nice music in the background.
