Well I finished the birdhouses yesterday. Not sure if i.m going to put string on them to hang up or just leave them the way they are.

Cut using live edge walnut.  I’ll probably sell it.  I don’t hunt deer but I liked how it turned out.  Finished with semi gloss poly. 

Nice legs.

The third project, a test to see how far I can push myself and the material.
This will be a decorative coffee cup wrap.
1/8" basswood cut with 2/0 FD Polar blades, speed reduced to 800 for control.
The tail is 14 1/2" long and should wrap around the cup 2 times.
This is a decorative piece and is intended to be for a cool display only, far to fragile to actually use. 🥴


 
 

Second project, a smallish plaque with a coyote howling at the moon.
Forget to add info on the first project, I switched back to the long stroke on the Hegner, I just couldn't get it to cut the 7/16 plywood on the short stroke. For this project the plaque was 1/8" plywood so I switched back to the short stroke. I used 2/0 FD Polar blades and reduced the speed to 1000, my usual speed is 1400. This one's going on the back burner as well, I need temps in the 60's to be able to stain outside and let most of the solvent evaporate before bringing it back in to allow the stain to cure fully.

Sunday's progress.

 

Been some rough days around the household and the office for a while, so I haven't done as much sawdusting as I'd like.  Had John 3:16 on the saw for a while now, so this weekend, to get the motivation back (as well as needing some more bookmarks....never can have enough bookmarks!!) I grabbed a couple of quick cuts from the Pattern Library (maybe one or two from Google), resized for the bookmark blanks that I have, and knocked a couple out.  Still have several more to cut today, but this is what's in-progress.
I've been using one of the blanks with a really intricate wolf head cut in it, and
 

Sunday's progress.

 

Black walnut bowl. Carol Rothman pattern, same book as ScrollerPete’s project. Bowl pattern is 8”x8”x3/4”.  What I like about this, is there is no scrap at all, just the sawdust from the kurf of the blade, which happens to be a Pegas MGT#9. Oh and I suppose the scrap on the perimeter of the bowl.
Lots of shaping/forming, (read sanding). A lot of fun to make. I plan on finishing it with shellac using the the French polish method.  
However, I don’t have the guts to attempt what ScrollerPete is doing. One of these days Pete, one of these days. 

Just to clarify: This is segmentation, so those 108 pieces have to be cut out, sanded and glued individually.

Sunday's progress.

Here are two lighthouses.   Cut from cedar with a #5 ultra reverse blade.  Thanks to @don in brooklin onfor help on the patterns.
Apples also cut from the cedar.
Birdhouses were cut from unknown wood, but probably spruce. It was a piece of post/rail material.
Finish is one coat of Garnet Shellac. 

My latest pattern and project - Mechanical bee. 4 layers 1/8 inch, project size is 9,5 x 6 inches.
Left one is photo of my project, right - 3D visualisation to show how it look like using 2 types of wood or stain

Fishnet. 36,5 x 45,2 cm, these are the first 6 pieces. Of 108. As usual, cut with a handheld fretsaw, as usual, the board is too big, but this time it's also too big for my cutting table. Fun times ahead 🙂
