I had a scroll saw for 28 years that I used to tinker around with. My job took me away from home for weeks at a time, so my scroll saw just sat there. Then retirement came and my wife bought me a wood magazine and my interest peaked. I tried different things and came up with vases and bowls and some ornaments.
I laminate different kinds of scrap wood (primarily maple, oak, hickory, walnut and popular) together, then use the scroll saw to cut the shapes. The final finish consists of three or four coats of polyurethane. Nothing is laser cut, it is all done using my scroll saw.
