These small 1/4" thick  and very narrow pieces of wood that has to be sliced down the middle so the two pieces of wood then has to be glued on each piece  not sawed in two and sure is hard to handle going through the scroll saw blade. And it sure helps if 

 the cut are straight enough for gluing to other pieces.

 

Then you glue a bunch of pieces together and keep gluing things together you finally end up with something?

 

Being small it didn't look this time consuming. This is after the third Christmas and still working on two or three sets.

Nice! Looks like they are worth the effort, Jess!

Lew, I've seen these patterns in scroll books forever but I have never seen a set of them completed!!

Artiste! And with patience!

Artie, are you making anything after I talked you in to getting Rapid Resizer. I thought I was helping at the time and am wondering now if I talked you into something you are not happy messing with wood?? Tell me I am wrong for thinking that!!!!
