A scroll saw shadow box is an excellent way to display artwork or photographs. A small shadowbox can add an element of wonder to your display. Seven layers of 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood can be used to create a simple scene that measures four inches by 1.75 inches. The finished piece has small details that add depth and interest. An increase in the size of a shadowbox would require more detail and make it more difficult. This scene is the inside of a shadow box.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
