Buy a  Skeleton Buy a  Bear Puzzle I'm not sure why anyone would want to buy a skeleton for Christmas, but my grandson has included one on his wish list. I typically make skeletons from 1/4-inch poplar, but since I didn't have any available, I decided to cut a skeleton from 3/4-inch wood and then split the pieces in half. The bear puzzles are crafted from 3/4-inch pine. I finished one puzzle with an oil-and-wax blend, while I dipped the other in diluted shellac. I prefer the oil and wax finish for pine. I'm not entirely sure what occurs when pine is dipped in shellac, but the pieces are tighter afterward.

  My Etsy Shop While it may appear simple, this project involved significant work. It took several weeks working a few hours a day to get to this point, and it will take two hours to get them packed for shipping.    This is my first time working with black limba wood. It was easy to cut with my scroll saw; however, the hardness of the wood varied quite a bit, so I had to pay close attention to stay on the pattern lines when the cut transitioned from hard to soft wood. When finishing some parts, the wood soaked up shellac like a sponge, and most of these areas required two coats of shellac.
