For the next video in this bowl series I jump ahead in the book I am using "Scroll Saw Wooden Bowls" by Carole Rothman. We are approaching Valentine's day so I am jumping to a heart shaped bowl. It is a little more advanced using a different approach to each ring. The pattern has only the first ring and you use it to draw the cut line for the second and the second for the the third. Also each ring is a different angle. I have been trying to use as small a blade to cut these bowls and therefore a smaller drill bit to drill the entry hole. On this project the blade deflected a little on one ring leaving a slight bow on the external side and a concave cut on the internal of the matching ring. It was still withing sanding specs but could have been worse. And the small drill bit flexed in the material leaving a very bad spot on the base and the third ring. So I am going to move up in size for blade and bit. The larger drill hole is not as damaging as a small flexed drill bit. Sanding should take care of the slightly larger drill hole if it is accurate. For the material I had a piece of poplar a bit too small so I cut a two inch piece of walnut and sandwiched it into the middle of the poplar to get the blank large enough. The bowl turned out very well with a lot of sanding.

I take a deer fretwork portrait and make it into a lid for a shallow oval shaped box. The pattern is intended to be a wall plaque but I decided to "repurpose" it. I also sealed it with resin to make a smooth top. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX6NVWAWZjg
