Thanks for the positive comments.
Can you tell me why the bottom cut of the stack fit better than the top cut. You can see one side with walnut tooth fits tight but maple tooth is a bit looser. Cut both at same time at 2 degree cut? Maple was stacked on top of walnut then cut.
Walnut and maple . Finished on the lathe. I stacked cut the walnut and maple to cut the tooth. I cut at a 2 degree angle but the bottom tooth (walnut) fit tighter than the top cut of maple. Not sure why?
I had to go back and look at it again. I do not remember why the plugs do not go all the way thru. Sorry could not find pics from before cut. I do think I drew circles on board then put in the dowels. Thanks all
Made this and did not like the glue up or a couple other things. Set it aside and came back to it last week to see if it was worth working on. Cut on scroll saw and finished on the lathe. Made the plugs and drilled and inserted into the flat board before cutting rings, Finished with Danish oil and rattle can of gloss.
I am doing a new Steve good pattern of a penny. Reduced the size in half and the letters are now 1/2" tall and about 1/4 wide. I am cutting on 1/4" poplar. Not sure what blade to use.

Hope grand son will have plenty of good playtime
