Russ Beard Eagle

[Rockytime]

Pattern by Russ Beard, a great designer. 1/8" laminated Russian BB cut one up, no stacking needed. #2/0 Pike blade. 400 holes and saw time was 7-1/2 hours. The laminated BB is a joy to cut and although Pike blades have no reverse teeth there is negligible tear-out on the back. I hate finishing and this material needs none. Frame via Hobby Lobby.

nice.  I definity see how the tail pattern looks like the tail is behind the legs and body.  Since the legs have feathers like boots. It could be easily merged into the tail feathers.  But it was done well. Great job on good cutting on a good pattern.

Majestic Eagles! A very favorite subject of mine and many others.

You did very well on a very nice pattern (which I also have in my "to do" file).

The HL frame finishes perfectly.

Question:  Is there any difference between what you call "laminated Russian BB" and what is commonly called "BB Plywood"?

Looks great!  Where did you find the Russ Beard pattern.  It looks like a lot of people use his patterns but I have been unable to find them.

Another eagle fan here, and you did an absolutely great job.

Rocky,

you have done a beautiful piece, and the frame makes the whole piece, RJ

Beautiful piece. Wonderfully cut, the frame is perfect and the stand is a great idea.

Google Russ Beard Patterns. You will get several hits. It will lead you to Facebook where I get his patterns. They are free although I'm not sure why he does this except that he's a very generous man.

I bought it from Frank Paxton Hardwoods in Denver. I ordered Russian BB 1/8"  They put the sheets in my vehicle. I paid no attention until I arrived home. Stuff sure was smooth. It has either a laminated or sprayed finish. I used it and love it. I have no idea what it is called. I buy my 1/8 and 1/4" from them and still have a supply. Next time I order I'll ask what it's called. I can't phone them as I am too deaf to use the phone.

Every hole is fun. 400 holes are just 400 times as much fun!

Rocky the Quality I see looks Outstanding.  I feel with so many inside cuts as that pattern I would just

have to Stack at least 3 1/8 BB.  Yes I do Craft Show and feel that I know cutting 3 or just 1 the Quality

is going to be the same.  Only Flying Dutchman UR#1 blade for me.................Danny  :+}

[Rockytime]

Thanks Danny. I don't do craft shows or sell anything so I can't use more than one.

Stunning cutting of a great pattern, I've not done anything needing so many cuts, mainly because I have the attention span of a gnat lol
