About this Product
This unique plaque features an eagle that is rested on a branch owl cut into an oval that is raised 1/4 inch above the frame. The frame is a leaf inspired. This is hand cut and assembled by myself.
The plaque is 10 inches wide by 8 inches tall and is made from one piece of hardwood. Being raised it is about 1 inch thick.
How it is made in my shop
It starts with a 3/4 inch thick flat board with an attached pattern. Holes are drilled for the scroll saw blade and the design is cut for each hole. Everything is cut at 90 degrees, but the oval which is cut at 4 degrees. The oval is edge rounded. When the oval is inserted into the frame it does not fit in but is raised. Three coats of lacquer are applied.

Meet the Maker
Twenty-five years ago I started a passion for cutting products using a scroll saw. I now instruct and demonstrate the wide world of products that can be made on this amazing saw. Everyting is hand cut and hand assemblied in my 25 ft x 30 ft woodshop. I feel that my scrolling experience should be shared with other persons who want to scroll saw, or who appreciate the items that can be produced on this amazing machine. I also believe in giving, so I have given ornaments and wall art to local and national agencies to sell to support their agencyies. I am active in the Central Indiana Woodworkers, who every year donates over 10,000 handmade toys to over 25 agencies my area to be freely distributed to kids. Everthing is handmade in my shop located in the village of New Augusta a few miles north of the Indianapolis 500 racetrack. I enjoy modifying others patterns to create unique pieces of scrolled artwork.
