  1. This is one of Grampa's patterns I cut over the weekend. The piece is 1/4-inch Baltic Birch with Natural stain, and the 1/4-inch Birch backer is stained Ebony. The frame is pre-fab framing material cut to size. The actual cutting is 8X10. This was a fun project although very time consuming with all the little cuts. I primarily used Pegas 2/0 spiral blades but had to drop to a Flying Dutchman 3/0 spiral for some of the smaller holes. Once cut the piece was very stable and you don't have to worry about "tender" areas that might fall or break out.
  2. Awesome job, Frank... but I've learned to expect nothing less from you!
  3. Wow! Busy woman. They turned out nice.
  4. I'll go any route, email, facebook or site home page. Regardless, I'll order my blades from Denny if I have a code or not.
  5. Regardless of your troubles the piece turned out great.
  6. This is a Jim Blume pattern cut from 1/4-inch Baltic Birch stained natural with a Birch backer stained Ebony. The frame is pre-fab framing material cut to size. The piece has four coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding with 320-grit sandpaper between coats. I primarily used Pegas 2/0 spiral blades with a few Pegas 2/0 MGT blades in a few areas. Overall it was a really fun cut. Thanks again, Jim Blume, for a great pattern.
  7. One of the prettiest crosses I've seen. Awesome job!
  8. Great idea. I'm sure he'll love it.
  9. Nicely done!
  10. A North Carolina Welcome!
  11. It was a lot of work but really an easy cut. I'm working on a hunting scene with a retriever carrying a pheasant right now and it has been a beast. Many, many, MANY tiny cuts.
  12. Ooops
  13. Great cutting on Einstein, Tbow, and love the pattern of you bowls.
  14. Beautiful piece!
  15. Fantastic job, Dick. I haven't tried intarsia yet. Been busy with commissions. At least that's paying for the wood for my hobby.
  16. Great work, Barb. You should have plenty of items for your shows. Hope you have great sales.
  17. Welcome to the Village from North Carolina.
  18. This piece is for a Corvette club. 1/4-inch Baltic Birch stained natural with a Birch backer painted red. Four coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding between coats. The frame was pre-fabricated cut to size and splined for strength. I double stacked this piece and the other has a backer stained Ebony.
  19. Nice work, Danny.
  20. You may want to try painting with water color. That will hide a lot of the delamination. I've done that on some of my pieces. I've stopped buying Birch from box stores. Their Birch isn't Baltic Birch and has voids as well as a thin veneer which causes it to delaminate. I purchased some Baltic Birch from Ocooch Hardwood and haven't had a problem with a single piece. By the way, you piece looks good to me.
  21. Awesome piece, Dick. If it only took you a few hours to cut that, you're a lot faster than me.
  22. Wow! You have been busy. Great use of the wood fencing. Gives you pieces a nice, rustic appeal.
  23. I agree with James. Looks like you did a darn nice job to me.
  24. Nice one, Charlie!
