Title: new project Navy CPO sugar skull
Post by: airfrm on November 24, 2016, 06:10:56 pm

Hello all, I am new to using a scroll saw but I am trying to make something for my wife because I cannot find anything available that I am looking for.  I was hoping someone might have a sugar skull pattern.  What I am trying to make is a challenge coin holder.  It will have a base for the coins and on the back corner will have the skull.  If anyone is familiar with Navy Chiefs, both my wife and me are Chiefs, she likes sugar skulls so I am trying to incorporate the two together.  Attached is a graphic of something similar, but I am wanting to use the sugar skull instead of a traditional skull.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a fun project.  Sue Mey at scrollsawartist.com came out with several sugar skull patterns at Halloween, so maybe one of them would work for you.  Good luck.

Never having been in the navy, what the heck is a 'sugar skull'?
