Some very fine cutting. Well done.
-
Just wanted to show I finished something. So many have done this Steve Good pattern and I always liked it so I thought I'd give it a go. I like to have a couple things going at once so I can switch off. This is my break from another project I started that is going to take me a month or more, if I actually get through it. Anyway, my eagle to hang on the wall. Done in 5/8" black walnut. I haven't applied a finish yet.

Macadamian wood is worth some effort. It can be beautiful. I have some, used some of it for bottlestoppers.

If you have access to a chain saw you could cut it down to manageable sizes. But, in my opinion a table saw is not for milling ruff wood. Someone with a band saw would make the whole process easier and safer. Drying is, like mentioned a long process.

And another great job on both!
-
Great picture. I vote, leave the clouds be.

Don't even know who the Hot Spurs are but great cutting.
-
Beautifully cut and finished on all of them.

They will book awfully nice sitting on the teachers desks. Great work.
-
Nicely done.

Very very nice looking. Great cutting job. Another pattern that I probably wouid have passed by but after seeing how you cut it I will be downloading the pattern.

I do it often. I do not use straight BLO, I mix it 50/50 with mineral spirit. I let it dry for about a week before spraying with the Poly.

Welcome, glad you joined.

I've visited there, about 20 years ago. From what I remember I was thinking if I lived there I would have to have a sail boat. My son and is wife got their sailing certificates while he was stationed around there somewhere. That's not much help to you though.

Very well done. Big leopard fan here.

Thanks for the response, Paul. No I meant the gray arm itself. The one thing I do not like about my Hegner is the arm does not lift very much, like the Excalibur does. Makes it hard to go from one hole to the next. Seems do me any other thing in that area would only make it harder. I don't know, I took mine off right after I got the saw. Thanks again. Paul

Paul there is lots of great things you are showing here. Almost missed it because I haven't revisited this thread, knowing I had already looked at and responded to your first post. Glad I came back. What I am hinting at is maybe you should start new threads for new projects you are showing or others like me may miss seeing your fine work. Nice video also. I have two questions, if I may: One is on your Hegner saw, why do you leave the gray "hold down" arm on? Do you ever use your "hold down"? I removed mine because it sometimes got in the way when I went from hole to hole on the piece I am cutting. Just curious if there is a reason I should not have removed it. The second is what kind of blade do you use to cut acrylic? Is there a special blade just for it... Thanks .

Very well done. I really like the "farm" theme.

So glad to meet you Anita. Now I see why Gator wanted the second saw. That is a great deal. It is always great to share hobbies, or at least each have a hobby. My wife quilts so when she is quilting I'm scrolling and she can't complain about it! When she buys material or other quilting needs, I buy wood, patterns or blades, she can't complain about it! I love her hobby.... She is ahead of me though, the quilting gets more expensive than the scrolling.

WOW! I'm struggling with a 14" one! Great job Kevin.
-
Another well done, Steve.
-
Well done Steve.

That is great looking. I could not see a break. Great cutting. What amazes me is I have looked at that pattern and thought nice, but not great. Then I see what you did with it and that moved it to "great".
