Popular Post Wichman Posted April 5 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 5 I took a break from the basket to make a gift for a friend. This is an example of why I like to use small blades, I get twofors. First picture is the fallout glued to a precut plaque (the gift). The second is the opening, this will become a gift for my granddaughter, I thinking of attaching a picture ( or pictures ) in the opening. If I do I'll post the results. ? Wood: 5/16" Elm, Blade: FD Polar #1 for the inside cut, #3 for the outside Time: about an hour of cutting. Pattern: found on a facebook group. Finishing, one coat BLO 50/50 with MS, The plaque will get 2 coats rattle can shellac. meflick, barb.j.enders, Charlie E and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Very well done and twofers at that. Not only small blades, but small entry hole as well. Wichman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wichman Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 One more picture and a note. I use a #65 drill bit for the pilot holes (.035") I drilled them at the far upper right hand side at the tip of the wing and at the upper right hand where the two fingers meet, this is so I can "hide" the hole within the pattern. Finished piece, many light coats of rattle can shellac: barb.j.enders and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 The shape of the wood, angle of the grain, and light edge on the right hand side really accentuate the dancer. Well Done! Wichman and barb.j.enders 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
