The most common design is the parallel arm, which is the type you typically see in your local hardware store. There is also a scroll saw style, with two separate arms at the top and bottom of the blade, reciprocating up and down to cut.

Unlike the coping saw, the blade has a fixed orientation in relation to the frame. The fretsaw is similar in many respects to the scroll saw, which is essentially a powered fretsaw with a table. Blades between the two tools are usually interchangeable, and indeed scroll saws are often known as “fret saws” informally.

Cedar and plywoods are recommended as good woods to practice on while some recommend a good quality Baltic birch (Scroll Saw Forums). We actually recommend Poplar as the best practice wood because it has a more even grain than pine, meaning you can cut at an even speed without worrying about changing blades.
