Wednesday Woodworking – Welcome Sign

Posted on 09/06/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

I finally managed some time back in the wood shop after a summer of mostly yard jobs. This is a scroll saw project that I’ll be using at our church. Heather is part of the welcome team and I offered to make this sign for them. I got the pattern from my favorite source of patterns, Sheila Landry Designs,

Here is a work in progress picture:

The front with the pattern.

Here’s the back so you can see the white oak that I picked for it. The dark wood in the background will be used as a backing for the sign.

I’ll have a picture of the completed project next week. If you need me, I’ll be in the shop.

    Hey that’s cool to see a comment from Sheila Landry Designs up there. Beautiful design. So is the scroll saw one where you move the piece of wood versus moving the saw? Can’t imagine how you create those fine, curving cuts otherwise.

      That’s the saw. It uses a very thin blade (a few sheets of paper thick) to cut. The blades dull quickly so I buy them by the dozen. I’ve been following Sheila’s blog for a long time and just love the designs she does.
