Hi All,

I have just bought a scroll saw so I can cut my own toppers.

Will be starting with simple stuff and so I would appreciate any templates for thumb (especially the lyre shape),

crook any other styles of stick handles that members might have. I have acquired several pieces of native Stripey Gum

a timber that has a lovely orange colour that will come up quite nicely I think.

Thanks in advance

Mick

Thanks all for the replies to my question!

Cobalt, I have a Ryobi Scroll saw. I tossed up between the band saw and the scroll saw and

chose the latter for the finer turns you can make. See link below for a picture. It cuts 40mm hard wood no problem.

My hardwood comes from out west. My wife's uncle cuts timber on his property and he has a stack of 30mm planks

from a deal that fell through. When I get my act together I am going to post pics of my recent shank collecting trip.

Anyway thanks again All your input was valuable as usual.
