Most Scroll Saw Woodworkers Don’t Know This Exists!

There’s a wood species that most woodworkers don’t know exists and they are missing out! It’s one of the best woods to use for scroll saw projects. That wood is called blue mahoe. Its natural colors and properties make it a dream to use in scroll saw art. I especially like it for adding a touch of highlights to dark areas. The blue provides just enough color contrast.

I’m Billy and I make fun things. This channel is devoted to making scroll saw art. I also have my main channel that shows how to build all kinds of cool stuff. Sometimes, it’s something I need like tool storage ideas. Other times it’s silly or nerdy stuff that I want to build.

I've found a Charlotte, Michigan wood store where they let you select your woods. Aspens? or Poplars sometimes has creamy white to yellows and greens!

Cool to see the Superman saves Santa piece in the video. I bought that piece off your website as a gift for my mother to add to her Christmas decorations.

I'm slowly building up my color palette as my local Woodcraft puts different species on sale. I don't really have specific projects in mind, I just look for colors I don't have. This way, I'll hopefully be prepared when the time comes and I'll have paid half the price

Seems like blue poplar with the green streaks!

This is a shortened version because it's live. Will always put in a request for "Send Me An Angel" for a Scorpions reaction!
