36" Ships Wheel

[smitty0312]

Finally finished it this morning.......went outside my comfort zone on this one, but am pleased with the results.........I won't be painting or staining, that will be done by the person I built it for so I hope I get a finished picture.......this was cut on my DW788 scroll saw using FD SR#5 blades (I don't have a band saw)........angles was made with miter saw......this was made from 2x4 lumber planed down to 1.125".....center hub was made from 2 pieces of 3/4" pine routed and joined together......it measures 36" from handle to handle.......I have been posting progress pics all week in the "General" scroll saw section.......comments please......
