Hippopotamus Christmas Tree Ornament: Cutting the Patterns Apart

Hippopotamus Christmas tree ornament patterns mounted on a wooden board are being cut apart for easier handling.

My Ornaments 

 I am using black limba boards that are 24 inches long for my hippopotamus Christmas tree ornament project. However, 24 inches is too long to cut on my Excalibur EX-21 scroll saw. I needed to separate the patterns, but there wasn't enough space between the patterns to use my miter saw. Smaller pieces are easier to cut on my scroll saw and drill holes for the eyes, so I use my scroll saw for the cross-cutting.
