Steve Good 5-layer compass

[RabidAlien]

Finally got down to cutting Steve Good's compass pattern.  Not a difficult pattern to cut, unless you hate angles.  1/4 bbply, #2/0 Pegas MG blades.  Didn't stack-cut this, as I had to wait for my next trip to Lowes for wood for two of the layers.  Ended up using 1/2" ply for the blank backer, I was worried about hangar nails/screw breaking into a cut part, but its thick enough where a hangar would naturally fall that I shouldn't have worried.

 

Dark layers are Minwax "Honey" and the light is a new one for me, "Early American".

Thanks, all!  It was a really quick cut, even with 5 layers.  Technically 4, as the backer is just cutting a circle and could've been done on the bandsaw.    Not too many pilot holes per layer.

And I am Partial to this Pattern.  Staining the Natural Old Way will Always look Good.

Yeah, I thought about doing one layer a bright teal color, just for funsies, but by the time I got to staining, I completely forgot.  LOL  Hmmm...mebbe I need to do another...!
