Basket C275

[Denny Knappen]

Another Alex Fox Basket C275. This is my favorite design which is why I took the picture from the top.  I used 1/4"solid Cherry 8" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #0 Super Skip blades. After sanding, glue each ring, let dry, then glue another. A coat of spray Shellac, another sanding with a Mac Mop, and a final coat of spray Lacquer Clear Gloss. Comments welcome.

I just ordered this pattern.  
Is there a reason that you use a #0 skip tooth blade?   I normally use a MGT 3 for almost all my cuttings as it is the most comfortable for me.

Denny, that looks like a great basket.  Can you post a picture of it from the side.  Thanks. mc

Hi Matt.  I wanted the smallest kerf possible and the #2/0R MGT tends to break.  They don't make a #0 MGT, so I went to #0 Super Skip blade, About the same tpi but no reverse teeth.  This is not a problem as I have to sand each ring separately.
