I know a little late but just so you know the actual pattern for download on steves site does not have the floater I just looked the swirl does not go right round and meet so no floater the picture does show it as doing that but the pattern is fine now:)
Saved some pallet wood destined for the fire and come up with this, Need to get a planer thicknesser I think so I can reduce width and save a month of sanding lol
That looks great I remember seeing the pattern your customer choose and to see it now done your customer is going to be very happy with that item. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Don I have looked at the pegas blades on axminster as people on here are rating them I will give them a go see what they are like thanks for info
