Somebody send me this pattern and I cannot remember who it was, I asked Travis permission to post in order for the owner of this pattern to get the proper due to him. It was easy to cut and I really appreciate the effort that was put in making this pattern. Still have to apply finish to it.
Please will the owner of this pattern step forward!!!!!!!!
Here a couple of trivets and an Irish Sign.
Trivets pattern from Steve Good, Irish sign from Bob
No finish on them yet, might stain the Irish sign GREEN
I have some tiles but no jeweller's blade, I tried with FD polar # 7 did not work to good, I thought that metal blades might to the trick, if I order some more blades, will have to get a dozen or so of jeweller's blades.
I used all kind of finish, for trivet I use Tung oil, for my bowls inside is mineral oil and bees wax, outside is shellac.
I also use spray poly, lacquer and shellac onotherstuff that I cut.
Made lot's of boxes recently and I had all these inserts laying around, I decided to use it for what I call "Redneck Coasters".
I have 2 coats of Tung oil for the finish and I glued some cork under in order to protect the furniture. Better than the wood pile.
Also I just finish cutting the maple leaf trivet posted on the site, excellent pattern and easy to cut.
I tried to print a pattern from the library and my printer just print like a shadow, tried 2 or 3 times same result.
Did I do anything wrong?
Patterns that i tried was the Christmas Tivet and Celtic one also.
I have an Excalibur saw so the table do not tilt, the head of the saw move.
For inlay I moved the head to the right 2 to 3 degrees depending on thickness of the wood and I cut clockwise.
To test just draw a circle on your piece of wood you plan on using and see the fit, the inlay piece should not go through but stay a little bit on top, you can sand it flush.
Hope this help.
If your bowl will be used for food, used mineral oil and beeswax, buff between coats(at least3 coats). On the outside of the bowls I used shellac 2 to 4 coats.
