Well it's too small for a jewelry box although that's a great idea. I will probably add a backer and a hanger and hopefully sell it. I still can't decide if I should cut the three remaining hearts or leave them as is.
I could give it to the wife for Christmas but she'd probably think it was another trivet and divorce me.

Peace plaque from a pattern by BirchBark. Cut from pine with a FDSR no5 and FDSR no3. I had to reduce the pattern to fit an offcut I had available which caused a few problems. Finished size is 23cm wide or roughly 9 inches.

Woodduck, I have also heard of people using a false table to get more life out of a blade. I haven't tried it myself but it would be easier than shortening the blade and no need to muck about with tension.
