If you need free vector design suitable for scroll saw technique, this collection of free scroll saw patterns may satisfy all your requirements.

The scroll saw technique for cutting out wood patterns is named after the scroll saw machine which is due to its very narrow blades most suitable for cutting curved contours in wood. This technique can also be found under the name of fret-cutting. Since scroll saw patterns are very similar to stencil patterns, we recommend you to have a look at the category of stencil designs on our website where you can find more interesting patterns for your projects.

There are four ways to cut the scroll saw patterns that are offered to you here:

  • manually, using a coping saw or fretsaw;
  • using a scroll saw or jigsaw machine;
  • using a CNC laser cutter;
  • if you do not have any of these machines, or do not intend to do the cutting yourself, find a company that renders CNC laser cutting services, scale your patterns in the desired dimensions and send them the files to help them cut.

The most suitable types of wood for scroll sawing are: Spanish cedar, red cedar, American (white) Holly, black walnut, satin wood, tulip wood, ebony, bird's eye maple, rosewood, mahogany, cherry, olive, oak, birch... You can use either solid wood or plywood.

In this category you can find only scroll saw patterns, and to all who are interested in scroll saw techniques we recommend a variety of specialized websites, books on scroll saw techniques or scroll saw tutorials on YouTube.  Since we are very interested in the results of our mutual work. we will be very grateful if you send us the pictures of projects for which you have used our scroll saw patterns!
