Popular Post wombatie Posted December 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I know I have not posted anything for a while but I have been scrolling. I cut this Star Wars pattern for my grandson who is Star Wars mad. I have always told him that he could have the paper pattern but I would never cut it for him, what a surprise he is going to get on Christmas Day. The pattern is by Janevski. There are 338 individual cuts and it took me about 19 hours to do. I cut it from 2.5mm Bamboo ply.

Bamboo is very popular in Australia because it is a very sustainable resource. It grows like a weed. It is easy to cut BUT it splinters very easily and the tiniest piece feels like a needle sticking in you. If you get some in your finger and don't get it out, it becomes infected very quickly. Baltic Birch ply is very hard to find in Australia and VERY expensive. Marg John B and OzarkSawdust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
