Nice work Kirk!

Nice work Dan! Purpleheart is a very hard wood. Make sure to use either blue painters tape under the pattern or clear packing tape over the pattern. The tape lubricates the blade and helps prevent burning the wood. Keep a sharp blade in the saw and let the blade do the cutting. Keep in mind Purpleheart will lose I color over time. It will turn a dark brown.

The Art Factory. It comes with an additional pattern for wall hanging.

Yellowheart, Purpleheart, Walnut, Maple, Red Oak and Red Cedar which is a soft wood. Cut using my DeWALT saw and FD UR #3 and 5 blades. The finish is a soak in 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then topcoated with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer.

I haven’t had to do it often, but when I do, this is how I do it if the project allows. I actually fill the void with Aleen’s tacky glue then sand the area with sand paper or my Random orbital sander until the void disappears. The sanding dust from the sanding operation settles on top of the glue so you have real wood filling the void.This works very well if the project allows you to sand.

What a beautiful car and a wonderful rendition!

My shop is an attached two car garage. My wife used to park her car in it but.....over the years of: “hunny, can you make this? And of course my answer was always yes, I can make that but I need to get another tool. That worked to the point of “ hunny, if I get another tool, you won’t be able to park your car in there! So the garage has been a dedicated shop for many years.

Not only the dust issue, but the MDF core looks out of place especially if the panel is stained.

This is one technique I teach my students. Another is to cut to the corner, back out just a little then widen the kerf the width of the blade. The wider kerf allows you to turn the blade without any binding. Your cross came out great!
