Found something different to get my little brain working on what a fish would look like.
Smallpatch posted a topic in Scroll Sawing
Never done any thing like this so! I think I started with the easiest of the two. I"m using plywood for that will give me some extra lines to tell if I am removing the same amount of wood from each side. And yes it does work. The only aquarium fish I ever saw was guppies but these happen to be ocean type as I was wanting more of an adventure.... I just got through working on my 5 hp 80 gallon air compressor that had quit day before yesterday and I run in to good luck for once for I had bought another compressor very much like the one I already had from brother in law as he was leaving and moving to North Carolina a couple years or so ago. He said he had just got the motor overhauled but he could not make the compressor run....and he was a registered electrician for many years in California before coming back to Texas. Wow, I just happen to see the 4 wires going in to the pressure switch box and yep, he had them installed wrong... I would never have known where they went but a few minutes prior I had just taken the same 4 wires out of the started box so I happed to be lucky for a change. And I kept thinking, please don't be the motor that has worn out or the box that has 4 capacitors for either could cost me a years salary or more but I first tried swapping the pressure switch with the other compressor sitting collecting dust and that fixed my compressor, hurray. So this morning I thought I would celebrate and make some fish. And today my wife told me happy birthday so the compressor thingy did make my birthday a little happier than usual I think for the last 60 years or so I quit celebrating my birthday.

I have been showing my progress on scroll saw forum but couldn't wait till this was finished to post over here on the new carving forum.. Thanks John Morris The names and the carving was maple and the back ground board Baltic Birch and the trim was?. After this picture was taken I have applied 100% tung oil on the carving then dried for a few days then started applying a clear finish, but not through yet.The picture of the carving is from Pinterest. The names came off Microsoft 10 from Word Pad which microsoft has been putting on all their different programs and always use the word Word to be easy to find..? Name sizes, the top two names are 130 and the three names are 110? I thought mom and dad should be a tad larger for they are the head of the house hold and do hold the money purse and things like that? Maybe can post a completed picture in a day or two. This picture came from a site, Some Sun on Pinterest and has welcomed people to down load their drawings. I will try to post a completed picture of my finished thing close to the original to show my appreciation for being able to use his drawing. Sorry for the sideways drawing for this is how it loaded..
