About Me

Welcome to my blog here at Kerfline~Woodworking. I know most of you visiting are wondering what "Kerf Line" in the title of my blog means. Kerf line is the cut the scroll saw blade makes in the wood. Kerf lines are at times used to make detailed markings, accents and definitions in wood projects. I have been making projects with my scroll saw for about sixteen years, so I thought now would be a good time to show case some of the items I make. Stand up table signs - trivets, made from red oak, wood puzzles, Gnome fairy doors and home decor are just some of the items. If you see something here you like, you can go to my shop on Etsy to purchase it. If there is something you are looking for, and it's not at my shop, please give me a chance to make it for you, I enjoy doing custom work. If you need a table sign or name sign personalized, please ask, I would love to make it for you. Thanks for stopping by!

Ham Radio Table Sign - Trivet- Red Oak

  This is a Ham Radio Table Sign below made from red oak. It's a custom order that I did for someone. I put up a few pictures to show you the steps from start to finish. This table sign is made from 3/4 " red oak and before applying the pattern on the wood, I put packaging tape down first, which helps keep the scroll saw blade cool. Some people put the tape over the pattern, but what I found, is not only do you have to remove tape but also the paper pattern from the wood.




The spray adhesive sticks the pattern to the wood and then when you are done cutting you have to use mineral spirits to take the paper and the glue off. When you put the tape down first all you have to do is peel the tape off and the pattern comes with it...no mess!




You will see in the next two pictures the table sign completed, with no finish on it. I used needle files and a flap sander to smooth the edges.




The  last picture is the table sign completed.   To finish it I used  two coats of Danish oil to brings out the beauty of the red oak.
