What blade should I be using for sawing thick ash?
Lucky2 replied to Frank Pellow's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Ash is a miserable wood to cut, it's very hard and it burns very easily. Slow feed rate, and a #7 blade and you should be set. Len -
You would be capturing the oil in the cookie sheet as you pour it over the cutting. After your done pouring the oil, you wipe the excess oil off of the item. Then, you pour the leftover oil back into the container by using a funnel. This may seem to be a lot of work, but it's not once you get used to doing it this way. Len

Frank, it's an amazing piece of work. I tried to like it, but, I couldn't cause I'm out of likes. Sorry. Len

Jim, doing this is so thoughtful of you, may you be blessed for what you do. Len
-
Too cool. Len

Nicely done Todd, it's a very nice sign. Len

Sam, you don't necessarily have to dip the piece, you could lay the piece on a cookie sheet and pour the danish oil over it. Len

Don, when cutting puzzles like this, I generally use a #3 or a #5 FR-UR blade. I sand around the exterior of the cutting to soften the edges, I usually use a Dremel tool to sand the edges. I like to cut the whole pattern from the wood in one piece, then I will cut the puzzle piece by piece. Once you start cutting these puzzles, you'll soon realize that there is a method to cutting them out. Study the pattern, you'll find the best place to start out and finish. Sometimes, just to make it easier on a larger puzzle, I'll cut the pattern into two pieces. Doing so, just makes it easier to handle the smaller pieces. Take your time, and don't force the wood into the blade. Be careful not to apply pressure to the side of the blade while cutting, it can cause the pieces to not fit together properly. The best thing you could do, is to take a copy of a pattern and apply it to a scrap piece of wood and cut away. Good luck. Len

Nicely done Dan, these were real good sellers for me a few years ago. Len

Nicely done Kevin. Len -
Bob, that sure is a tidy bit of cutting, that Santa is one of the nicest I've ever seen. And the Volker Arnold church scene, is gorgeous also. I've cut it a few times, people are attracted to them. I used a plexiglas mirror for a backer on one that I did, it looked really cool. Len

Nice looking puzzles Dan, I like cutting them out also. Len
-
Ingenious. Len

Nicely done Jerry, the rings are amazing. Another item I like, is those little wooden pyramids you've made. Len
-
I've had one for years, it works great. Len
-
Lucky you, those are very nice looking ornaments. Len
-
Nicely done Frank, Merry Christmas to you and yours also. Len

Tony, it's an outstanding cutting, I do hope you were able to stack cut it. On the portrait of your son, will you stack cut it so other family members might get a copy? Len

Jerry, it was me who asked, thanks for reposting it, I like to see the finished piece. The angel looks awfully nice, it should catch lots of glitter from the lights. Len
-
Nicely done Jim, he looks mean. Len
-
Richard, both pieces outstanding, I really like the colored backer on the Beatles piece. I think it looks a lot different that way, then it would with a black backer. Len

DJ, she'll be one happy girl, it's a gorgeous box and the lettering is perfect. Len
