    Hi Dave you have great looking project display at your craft show. It looks like you have a Harley puzzle there. Can I ask you what blade you used to cut the wheel spokes with. I have cut several Harley puzzles but seem to always have aa little blow out in a few spokes on the bottom. The top is fine. I have sold them all and no one complained but I know it's not quite the quality I would like.My blade is square . Just thought I would check to see if you have the same problem.

    Thank you

      Those spokes a bitch. I increased the size of my pattern quite a bit.  I have the best luck making them out of cherry because of the tight grain. Oak and poplar doesn't work for me. I also leave a lot more of the spokes connected an drill more holes. Every time I cut more I swear no more. Good luck.

      That's what I was wondering is if you increased the size of the pattern. Bitch is right. I have been leaving all the spokes connected. Helps a little. I keep saying no more as well, but they sell well. Probably because I sell them so cheap. I am using poplar and a number 58 drill bit. Thank you for replying.  I will keep experimenting or quit making them!
