    I had a few birds cut so I used what I had.

    Padauk is the red wood.

    I have one and it has been in my shop (very small) for many years and it does a pretty good job. I also have a dust collector and used it for the sander and table saw and chop saw.

    Ribbon is made out of oak,padauk and maple. Thank you for all the nice comments but will post the box after I put the lacquer to it.

    Might be able to finish all the orders before Christmas but it will be tight. Here are a few things that are close to be done, a little more finish and they will be ready to go. The Christmas tree ornaments pattern from Sue Mey Box is from Steve Good Enjoy

    Yes you need just a little bit of sanding, you have to test the angle of the saw first and adjust accordingly.

    As I promised here are the finished products, now I can start making sawdust again. Also another idea for use of scraps instead of coasters I used a Forester bits and now we have a candle holder.

    Cedar will be the easiest to cut. I made dozens of bird houses and I used pieces of scrap that I glue together to get the thickness, so I used jusy about every kind of wood. Oak, ash, walnut, cherry, yellow and purple heart(not recommended very hard wood) so the sky is the limit. I agree on blades choice FDUR # 5 and 7.

    Very nice Denny, if you thought that oak was hard, better stay away from Purple Heart. I did some that I glue scrap of PH with walnut, they look very good but never again.

    It is a great book, excellent patterns, thanks to all involved in producing it.

    I made lots of trivets and I used Tung oil, 2 to 3 coats and sanding in between coats using 600 grit, so far everybody is happy and no complains. If it wear out just sand it again and reapply Tung oil to it.

    Welcome to the village here from the national capital Ottawa

    Thanks for the nice comments, I think I will lay off cutting Christmas trees for awhile, I cut 2 signs one after the other that's enough (broke the first one). I will use Tung oil on the sign and Kunos natural oil for the coasters, 2 to 3 coats and it looks just like glass. Will post the finished products.

    Cut this box for my daughter's boss and with the inside I made coasters, just have to apply finish to them and ready to go. Box pattern is from Sheila Landry and the nativity scene is from Sue Mey. Also I recut the welcome sign that I broke before, different piece of oak but I think it will work, also have to put the finish to it.

    I find that the green tape is not as sticky as the blue one, also it is cheaper.
