    Pattern by Travis. cut from unusual 1/8" BB. I purchased this BB several weeks ago from Paxton Lumber. I can't use a telephone so my daughter ordered it for me based on instructions I had written down. We picked it up. I remained in the vehicle while it was loaded into the back. I did not see it until arriving home. It is beautiful but surprise, it has a plastic laminate on both sides. They had cut the 5X5 sheets in half so I could not return. It's ok though. The stuff is beautiful. Went back this week and picked up the regular BB. Anyway, after all that explanation, I did cut Travis's pattern from the coated BB. Nice thing, it requires no finishing. Project is about 10 inches wide, I think. #1 Pike blade. Cut without a backer. No fuzzies on the back due to the coating. Whew, that's all folks. Oh yeah, I know the grain should run horizontal but this was the size of scrap that I had.

    PM me with an address. I'll send you a dozen #1 Pike blades. No charge. I'd just be curious how they work for you. I can also send some 2/0 Pike blades.

    Looks good. I like re-purposing. Learned a lot from the Red-Green show years ago.

    I have a suggestion. I use #2/0 and #1 Pike blades. These are made for cutting mild metals like gold, silver, brass, etc. The are sold mostly to jewelers. The thing that makes them so unique for the scroller is that they have very high tooth counts and are perfect for 1/8 and 1/4 BB. #1 has 42 tpi whereas regular scrolling #1 blades are 20 something tpi. The Pike blades give incredible control. For bottom feeders regular blades break easily because they are quite stiff and when feeding them into a small, like #68 drill, hole constant bending causes them to break. Also when bent they take a set and are hard to feed into a small hole. Pike blades are very bendable and seldom break when bottom feeding. I had been using #1 Pegas blades for fret work and had lots of breakage. Although Pegas blades are my go to blade I no longer use them for thin fret work.

    Pretty dynamic! Your work is very impressive! What blade do you use for that detail?

    Very nice work. I'm sure your son will be pleased.
