I ran across this and thought you scroll sawyers might find it interesting.  They call this a classic Luban Lock---Zodiac Snake.  Stocking stuffers come to mind.  I hope @Smallpatch likes it.  He sent me some puzzle plans so I owe him one.

 I think @Gene Howe was looking for some compound patterns a while back.

Thanks Dan. Definitely a challenging project. No stocking stuffer for me though please...lost me at "snake"

Okay Dan, yes I think that is great work, even a good finish....You surprised me for all I thought you could do is make a floors worth of shavings. 

   Now lets see more pictures from every one else. Remember it didn't happen without pictures for proof.

If Gene needs some patterns he should check some compound chess sets then make a board for the game and it would sell for big bucks.
