    Dan, I stack cut 4 layers at a time, I use 1/8" stock. I use 1/8" stock for the backer on these cuttings, because it makes them easier to frame than 1/4" is. Well their all easy enough to frame, but, the extra thickness of the 1/4" makes for a thick fit in most store bought frames. Len

    Well Kevin, it will last longer, but, not forever. I have a piece of wood that I lay under anything I'm drilling, I move it around so that there's no chance of the wood getting a small blow-out from the drill passing through. I don't know if your idea will work or not, I suppose it could if you never move the press table, and as you suggested you always use the same sized drill bit. I use a backer when drilling, but, I still sand the back side of the cutting with an orbital sander before I begin cutting. I find that doing so, makes the piece of wood move more freely on the saw bed. Len

    Kevin, it's a nice looking piece, but, you placed the period in the wrong place. It should be placed after the Inc, rather then after Industries. Len

    Danny, I'm sorry but I can't help you out, I've never used the stuff. I am very interested in reading the replies you get, I've been doing some turning and would like to color some of the wood. Len

    Nathan, you did an amazing job cutting this one out, there looks to be more than a few hold your breath moments. Chef was a great pattern designer, to bad he passed away. Len

    Terrylee, it's good that your feeling better, but, you get more done when your ill, then most people do when they're feeling 100%. All of these pieces look fantastic, but, I like the one of Jesus carrying the cross best. I've never seen that cutting before now, is it your pattern? Len

    Ray, there's not many places around where I live, that you can get descent lumber at. To get nice and sometimes exotic wood, I buy it on the internet. Len

    Joe, welcome to the site, it's nice to have you join us. As to your query, I haven't got a clue because I don't use spiral blades. I may be wrong, but I think you'd be better off using a flat blade. Spiral blades have quite the kerf, that's what makes me think they won't work. Others will chime in later, I'm curious to see what they have to say on this subject. Len

    Laust, I think that you will either have to paint it, or cut another one. I don't think stain will look right,because you will still see the error. Whereas paint will cover it, so that it will not be seen. Personally, I would just cut another one, and mark this one as a learning experience. Len

    Nicely done Dave, it will make a nice gift. Len
