Great work Peter! You certainly can tell you used flat blades.
-
You truly are an artist Dave!

I always apply clear packing tape on top of the pattern. The trick is to burnish the tape down with a block of wood so the tape is perfectly adhered to the pattern. If you do this, dust can’t get under the tape.

Les, most cedar is not kiln dried. It also contains a lot of oil. So you get a moist, oily powder rather than dry dust. It’s probably not dry enough for your dust collection to pick up. Like trackman above, I have my blower pointed at my dust collection port. I don’t have a remedy for you, just wanted you to know what your problem was.

Hey Dan, while the grain is a bit distracting, it’s still a beautiful piece!
-
Yup, it shows. Not many fuzzies.

Look like a sandflee. Just a bit expensive but might pay for itself if you do production work like a few of us do. Why don’t you buy one Jim and let us know how you like it!
-
Isn’t that beautiful!!! We don’t use this term over here but, that’s brilliant! Flat blades or Spirals?
-
How about some details like wood used, thickness of wood used, blade type and size.

An oil based finish will darken the Ebony. What I would do is dip the pieces in a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Wipe off the excess oil, then let it dry. Then apply a topcoat of your choice. Keep in mind anything that claims U.V. protection requires re application every year. It’s best just to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Looks good, but can you give us some details?

Love the box and the puzzles are great too!
-
Very nice project Frank, nicely cut!

That is a wonderful looking box Brenda! I’m sure your friend will love it!

After more than a year of debating , I bit the bullet!

Congratulations! Tell us how you like it after you put on a few hours. -
It’s basically a band clamp with updated features.

Welcome to the Village Linda! Hope to see some of your work!

The thickness of the vein is up to you. If it seems to thin, go over it with a thicker blade or, even a spiral blade. I would recommend you try it on some scrap wood before attempting on your work piece. You can always make it thicker, but you can never make it thinner. If you are careful, it’s easier to back the blade out while the saw is running. If the blade doesn’t want to back out, it’s ok to stop the saw and remove the blade. This is where a saw with a lifting top arm comes in handy. Just loosen the bottom blade clamp, and raise the arm.

Beautiful cut Ron! Did you use flat blades or spirals? The cuts are very clean!
-
Beautiful work Denny!
-
That is an amazing piece of work Clive!
-
It’s sad when someone doesn’t agree with you, you have to give them a derogatory name. This is supposed to be a friendly place. I’m sure you have a name for me.
-
Beautiful box Bernd! It’s been a while since I’ve cut a project like that.
-
Welcome to the Village Clive! Looks like you have a lot to share with us. Feel free to share your knowledge!

That’s a nice looking box Ron!
