Make 15 Picture Frames with a Scroll Saw!

I created an eBook of 15 Scroll Saw Picture Frames for a presentation I did for the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association.  Check out the video below, and if you like what you see, Click Here to purchase my eBook of all 15 templates!

I made all of these projects using my Dewalt DW788 Scroll Saw.  If you have other tools, such as a tablesaw, you can use them to prepare your blanks and make most of the straight cuts to save some time.  If you don't have a scroll saw, you can use a jig saw for most of the interior cuts and a coping saw for the fine-detailed interior cuts.

Here is a low-res preview of my eBook of 15 Scroll Saw Picture Frames in case you are wondering what's included.  It contains 50 pages of templates, photos, and information for making these picture frames.

Let's take a closer look at each picture frame.  All of these frames consist of a main board with an opening cut for a photo, then a smaller face frame is glued on top to hold the picture in.  Check them out and enjoy!  Happy woodworking!

OSB Handsaw Picture Frame

OSB (oriented strand board) is not the most popular wood to use for woodworking projects.  Most woodworkers would probably balk at even calling it "wood", but this piece of OSB was different. 

My daughter went for a walk with her grandmother and found this piece of OSB that someone was throwing out, so she brought it home so I could make something out of it.  This OSB is special because:  (1) She thinks it's special; (2) She thought I would think it's special; (3) She wanted to recycle it;  and (4) She believed that I would make something cool out of it. 

I could not disappoint her, so I stepped up to the challenge made this handsaw picture frame for her.  Turns out that the OSB was fun to work with and it gave this handsaw picture frame a cool construction look.
