Lawrence Peterson made this cruet. Lawrence writes: “A cruet is a small container for salt, pepper, oil, or vinegar for use at a dining table. This scroll saw project is from a design off the web site http://www.finescrollsaw.com, and modified to make the project easier. Original pattern is 074. The patterns are based in an old English design.
“The critical factor here is the thickness of the wood in relation to the slots for assembly. Original design had four holes for items but I found that two of the holes were too small for anything I have, while the larger holes fit my salt and pepper easily. This project was simple to do as a stacked cut and therefore I made two at once.
“Woods are Hard Maple, Ash, Teak, Walnut and Padauk. Finish a spray gloss polyurethane.”
Thanks for sharing this project, Lawrence!
