Looking for a recommendation and advice

[Ian Clarke]

Hello all I have seen a design I like he look of and would like recreated but with a few tweaks. I don't know if it comes under carving or something else so would like to ask people if it's possible and any recommendations of someone that can do it I am in the east of england near thetford.

 

Many thanks

My grandad used to make things like this with a foot peddled, bench mounted fret saw, he had hundreds of amazing patterns on grease proof paper, I wish I had it. You could buy a normal fret saw from screwfix, time consuming but it isn’t hard to get a decent result.

These old fret saw machines are surprisingly common.  Look up Hobbies fret saw and you will find them.  Here is one on ebay:
