Fretwork Hearts

These lovely fretwok hearts were designed by Allison Tanner of Sarasota, Florida. They weren't hard to cut by they took a long time, about an hour and a half each including preparation.
I cut them from 1/4 inch Baltic birch plywood and they measure 5 1/4 inches at their widest by
31/2 inches.

I was looking for some way to add color to these without painting them when my wife came up with the idea of threading red ribbons through them. It seems to work pretty well.

Price point for these will be in the neighborhood of $10 each. Allison has several more patterns of these in the current issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts. Will be trying a couple more before Valentines Day. Right now have just these four in stock.
