I have a 16" variable speed scroll saw of high quality that I would send to you for peanuts if I could get it to you. I find them near worthless for handle materials. As the other guys said, a band saw is far, far better.

I use a 14" Grizzly wood bandsaw with a 1/4" blade to shape the scales when I'm using natural materials. For synthetics, my metal cutting bandsaw is better but the stiffer, wider blades don't do curves very well. Before you spend $250 on a itty bitty Delta look at Grizzly and Harbor freight 14" wood saws or the little 6x6" metal saws. You'll be a lot better off ....
