A scroll-saw shadow box is a great way for artwork and photos to be displayed. A small shadowbox can add an element of wonder to your display. A simple scene can be made out of seven layers of 1/4" Baltic birch plywood and measures about four inches square and 1.75 inches thick. The finished piece has small details that add depth and interest. Increasing the size of a shadow box would require more detail and make it more complex. This is the scene inside the shadow box.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We use several methods to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
