gator Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) this was a challenge. i use spirals for all pictures but ones with straight lines i like #3 #5 reverse tooth straight blade. this being 4' long is not a option.it was fun and hard but it does have a wow factor, thanks for looking. made a simple pine frame sprayed black.special thanks don for your pattern skills,took some liberty on tender i liked a cleaner look Edited April 11, 2015 by gator DonR, LarB and bobscroll 3 Quote
Multifasited Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Your right about the WOW factor ,with only straight blades ,challenge has a whole new meaning ,at least for me !! At this rate all your chicken will lay double yolkers ,to say I am I am impressed is the understatement of the yr!!! Quote
