Title: Cedar Fencing
Post by: jpburcham on February 28, 2023, 10:08:44 pm

I've been asked to do a rustic wall hanging out of rough cut cedar fencing.
I'm wondering if anyone has used this type of wood on a scroll saw with success.
If so, how did you apply the pattern?
I'm thinking that perhaps stack cutting with a thin MDF on the top to apply the pattern onto might work.
Would love to hear any other ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Just use blue tape.  We had our fence rebuilt a couple of years ago.  Since then it's taken a few tree hits which I repaired myself.  Kept the damaged boards and have used them for various things.  Good old blue tape sticks well to the wood and the pattern sticks to that.

Thank you ~ I'll have some time this weekend ~ I'll give it a try.
