Popular Post Dave Monk Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I crafted this plaque using ribbon striped (quarter sawed) sapele. When cutting the tree I set my saw at approximately a two degree angle. The tree worked well for this because it was one continuous cut. I pushed the tree out about 1/2 way and did a lot of sanding with a sanding mop. I'm very happy with the look.

OCtoolguy Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Beautiful work Dave. As always. You have a real gift for making beautiful stuff. Would you tell me where you find the sapele? When I was looking fo it, I found none from any of the regular sources. I wanted it for the bowl I made and was forced to use padaul instead and now it has darkened to almost brown. scrollingforsanity and Dave Monk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which did you use for this project. when you buy from McKinney Hardwood, do you go to their location? I do go to their location. It is actually a guy that has a building behind his house that he keeps lumber in. I don't buy much from him because of their limited inventory. Last time I went he had 1/2 dozen very nice 1/4 sawed sapele boards. Most of my wood I get from Dallas Hardwood. I use usually use my Pegas for any angle work I do and my Hegner for anything else. The Hegner is a work horse and will outlast the Pegas by a long shot. I use my Pegas scroll band saw for most of my Intarsia work.

Thanks Kevin. I really have no desire to own a CNC. I can find enough to do with the equipment I have to satisfy me. kmmcrafts, OCtoolguy and Scrappile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Dave, I'm curious about the date on your plaque. What exactly does it commemmorate that hasn't happened yet? Is it a wedding thing for future use? I love the pattern. Where'd you find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
