I made this for my granddaughter’s fifth birthday. She came over and started looking through one of my scrollsaw books and picks out this pattern and says, “I want this”. Now she is my only granddaughter so what do I do. It is make of oak and finished with poly. I made two fixtures to help assembly the unit. One to hold the inside parts as I glued them togerher, and another to hold the inside assembly as I positioned the two outside pieces and clamped them.
I have seen other post this project made out of baltic berch ply and painted however I like the more natural look.
The pattern is from a Patrick Spielman Fretwork book called “Classic Fretwork Scroll Saw Patterns”.

That really came out lovely! She is going to be just thrilled. I also find that with projects such as this, the glue up is the most difficult part to do. You did beautifully though. I really love it!

That is a fine piece of work. Next you will have to build the doll furniture. I to have a lot of Grand-daughters and have had to build all of the furniture in that book. It was worth it!!!!!!!!!
