I had some Oak plugs that I made years ago.. I sliced them in half and then shaped using a sander,,, and yes,, I lost a little bit of finger skin from the sander. Next time I will use pliers to hold the little pieces! LOL
I cut one out last night and actually cut out the black circles on the stomach. I'll see how it turns out, using the buttons is definitely faster though.
Thanks for cutting yours and reminding me that I had printed patterns a while back to cut.
