The scroll saw technique for cutting out wood patterns is named after the scroll saw machine which is due to its very narrow blades most suitable for cutting curved contours in wood. This technique can also be found under the name of fret-cutting. Since scroll saw patterns are very similar to stencil patterns, we recommend you to have a look at the category of stencil designs on our website where you can find more interesting patterns for your projects.
There are four ways to cut the scroll saw patterns that are offered to you here:
manually, using a coping saw or fretsaw;
using a scroll saw or jigsaw machine;
using a CNC laser cutter;
