Check out this unique handmade 3D scroll saw sculpture, which features "LOVE" on one side and "WOOD" when rotated 90 degrees. The photos from the other side were lost. These can be used for any combination of words, but it is better if they have the same number of letters.

 

"Compound cutting" on a scroll saw refers to a technique where you cut a pattern on multiple sides of a piece of wood, usually by flipping it over and cutting from the opposite side. This results in a 3D shape instead of a flat design; essentially, you're cutting on both the face and edge of the wood to create depth and dimension in the final piece. 

 

Key points about compound cutting on a scroll saw:

• Creates 3D shapes:
• The main benefit of compound cutting is that it allows you to create intricate, three-dimensional designs on a scroll saw, going beyond simple, flat shapes. 

 

Multiple cuts on one piece:

To achieve a compound cut, you typically cut part of the design on one side of the wood, then flip it over and cut the remaining part on the other side, following the same pattern. 

 

Requires careful alignment:

Precise alignment is crucial when flipping the wood to ensure the cuts line up properly and create a cohesive 3D design. 

 

Advanced technique:

Compound cutting is considered a more advanced scroll saw technique, as it requires understanding how to manipulate the wood and manage the blade path.
