Show your very first scrollsaw project

[HWPlmbr1]

I finally found my first cuts and took pics. I gotta laugh at them cause I really didn't know what wood to use so I grabbed a piece of 2x4 and cut these.
Love - I downloaded from some where maybe here
Sexy - I drew myself on the wood
Notice the knots?! Did I know how to choose the right wood or what?! 
Probably went through quite a few blades as I remember! 
I learned a lot since then, especially from this forum!

OK...here was my first project, 2/2011...yes I am a "newbie"

[yankeebum2]

Wow cnlnc. With work like that I wouldn't call you a newbie. It's embarrassing to us real newbies. Very nice work. Wish I kept my first piece. My wife and I still laugh at it and wish we had it. It was an absolute disaster. Not a smooth line anywhere on it. Lol

my first scrollsaw project was on the cover creative woodworks & crafts December 1997 issue.didn't have a pic of it so i scanned it with my flat bed scanner.
was a bit dark so i had to lighten up a bit.i made it 1998 so its seen better days getting in rough shape now. just might have to make another in the future.

Mine is the same as HWP I did the love word (I think I got it from here as well) I don't have a pic of it because it is hanging up between pics of my wife and myself I painted it black it was done on 1/2 pine (still learning about the wood) I wanted it to look like the ones you would buy in the store Laugh, Love,Live, Hope, Faith those one I will see if I can get it away from the wife so I can take a picture of it.

yep i would say it was my first serious project.use to make small lawn ornaments before that didn't count them, before i had a scrollsaw use to cut them with a jig saw

[Chachi]

@yankeebum2...thank you for the kind words, I definetly give all the credit to this forum for all the support, info and advice it has given me. I am definetly hooked.

Don't have a pic, either.  My first project was a pair of skates cut from 2x6 with 1" pine blades.  They were painted, and then I put nails where the holes for laces would be.  I tied string around the nails and then knotted the string at the ends.  We would hang them on our mailbox before Christmas.
They were such a hit that I probably made at least 75 pairs for friends, and sold others at craft shows.

Just looked at mine again. On the word love doesn't the e look like a pacman or something!  LOL!

My first project was a kangaroo. (feb.2009)
gave it away so I had to ask for a picture.
My daughter had to do a project for school and I took the hand jigsaw and made this.
wasn't really a project.
the next real project was the silhouette of my 3 daughters. also done with a hand saw.
after that I was so  addicted that I bought a scroll saw.

really beautiful.
it's nice to keep the first work, what motivates one to move forward.
Congratulations to each of you to show your talent.
