Don for that thickness I would use a #4 or #5. A #2 is too small. Is this to be an intarsia piece?

Looking forward to seeing it finished Don.
Looking forward to see the progress on this Don just started getting interested in scrolling I have an old SIP scroll saw and have only ever made a house sign years ago on it last week I bought a new scroll saw so hope tp learn on that.

Thanks All for your kind words.
@ Terry Q, this is one of the last exercises in the book I am learning from.
It is a segmented piece and will be painted with Acrylic paint and sprayed with Acrylic Satin Varnish (hopefully)
I still have some exercises to do mainly the angled cuts for inlay etc.and I am just following the book with regard to blades to use etc. I used the #2 crown as I had taken delivery of a pack of #2 and a pack of #5 blades and just thought to try them out.
I really am liking this scroll saw cutting thingy and have already bought some books on Intarsia so I need to get a lot of practice in. As well as practice it is invaluable the advice that is given on forums like this I truly appreciate it.
@ dalboy, just a little segmented exercise, I hope it turns out ok.
take care

Hi All,
Finished at last. I have mounted it on a backing board and it is sitting on my zero clearance plate.
