While similar to my other filigree styled scroll saw patterns, the lines on all of these have been tapered to be thicker at one end and I think that really gives them some extra style!
This pattern has the option to make these as simple flat ornaments, or you can make them in 3 layers as shown in the first product photo. The first layer is the body of the angel, the middle layer outlines the body and adds the wings, and the back layer is just a solid backer behind the wings.
The flat version will be a bit delicate but you could use 3/16″ to 1/4″ for more durable ornament if you wanted. If you make the layered version, 1/8″ wood is plenty strong and the layered version gives you the opportunity to add color as you can see in the sample photos. There is a bit less detail in these so I think they are easier to cut than some of our other filigree ornaments. You could reduce the size a little if you want some extra challenge.
– about 4″ tall each
