Joe W. Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Couple more Steve Good patterns that appealed to me. 3/4" select pine and #5 Pegas MGR blades. It was interesting cutting 3/4" pine; cutting with the grain and thru knots cut slower and then across the grain went faster. Oh, and something else I did with the sun pattern was to drill holes just past points of the sun's rays - it eliminated to make a loop with the saw blade and come back around. I enlarged the patterns a bit - the sun is 8 1/2" and the owl is just under 9". For the owl, I used a leftover piece of flat white PVC. One of these days I need to move on to the next step and finish what I've cut. Or talk my wife into doing it. meflick, jollyred, Charlie E and 5 others 8 Quote
Dak0ta52 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Great job Joe. I know what you mean with the pine. Have experienced it myself on some of my pine projects. As far as finishing, I rather enjoy doing that as long as it's stain, sanding and sealer. If I have a piece that is going to be painted, I usually leave that to my wife. Joe W. 1 Quote
