<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere’s a Valentine’s Day gift that I made for my wife in 2006. The heart with our names at the back was my modification to the original design. Both of the scrolled pieces are from 1\/8-inch baltic plywood, and the base is sapele. It’s a small piece, about 4 inches wide at the base.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/greiner.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3d_dragon1_b.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis dragon is a different sort of project. The original pattern was for a single-layer creation. I made it three layers, with the legs and wings added to the sides. Attaching the wings was an “interesting” exercise, but it finally got accomplished. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Scrollsaw](\"http:\/\/greiner.ca\/fumblethumbs\/scrollsaw_pinkflamingo_card.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere’s a birthday “card” that I made for my sister to go along with the intarsia haida eagle. It’s made of 1\/4-inch baltic birch plywood, and painted with acrylic paints. We signed the back of it.<\/strong>

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is a scrollsaw mammoth puzzle, made out of pine. The tricky bit is that each piece has several more cuts in it to give a sort of “texture”. This one was done for my mother as a mother’s day gift. Actually, I gave it to her un-assembled and didn’t tell her what it was. In addition, I put the solution in a sealed envelope, just to torment her. Yes, I are a rotten child. (yes, she actually solved it without peeking at the solution)<\/strong>
