Sure is faster than a thread weave. Well maybe, probably would take me days to do that. Your artistic mad skills inspire me Billy.

Working for one cheese cake an hour you would have done pretty good. Put a few in the bank for High Point! As always a pleasure to look at.

Thanks to everyone. The cheesecake is really, erally heavy and creamy exactly how I like it. WIll have some at gatherings, and maybe HP. This was my first inlay made using a scroll saw. I have a lot of practicing to do, I wasn't fully satisfied with the SS due to my lack of skills, but you really can put intricate detailing in there with that tool.

Very nice work Billy; the scroll saw can be a challenge, but I'm sure that you will over come it.

MArk, the SS has a ton of potential. I almost bought a $500 Delta in teh Spring, tehre is a chance I might look into that again this winter. Teh problem with EVA is there is no resistance when it is cutting, so it's very easy to go off track. I was also unable to cut a straight line with the SS, but I've got a bandsaw that takes care of that for me when the need arises.
