Scroll Saw Project
My mother's 100th birthday in next week. I'm traveling via Amtrak to see her and made this plaque. No fine woodworking here, but a fun simple project. It's a Steve Good pattern. The cutting is 1/4" BB pw. The frame is maple, from salvaged basketball court flooring. The backer was the reverse side of a backer from a purchased picture frame. Two layers of hand cut boarders to give it some depth. Rattle can painted and then lacquered. Thanks for looking.

My great aunt turned 100 this year , the dr asked her what her secret was ,, she told him a shot of scotch every morning and a 1 mile walk every evening a good nights sleep and the good book.
He told her if she made it to the 100 birth day he would buy her bottle of scotch of her choice, last we heard she was still doing good and has the bottle stashed so her son couldn't have any .
And he is n his 80's !!
Congrads and nice work.
