A shadow box made from scroll saws is a great way to display photographs or artwork. A small shadowbox can bring a sense to wonder. Seven layers of 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood can be used to create a simple scene that measures four inches by 1.75 inches. Small details add interest and awe to the finished piece. A shadow box that is larger would require more detail, and it would be more complicated. This is the scene from the inside of the shadow box.

How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. 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).
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the 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 along the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
