A scroll saw shadowbox is an excellent way of displaying artwork and 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 is the scene from the inside of the shadow box.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
