Added a backer board spray painted black for the shepherd, stained it and added danish oil.. The owl face is just coated in danish oil over raw birch. I don't have a real home for them yet, just put them anywhere for now.

I inherited my husbands old shop chair he used when reloading. He prefers a tall stool now as his bench is higher than it was. So now I have arm rests, wheels and height adjustments I can play with. Works pretty good but I will eventually upgrade to something with a more comfortable seat. The wheels are really nice but can be fussy when I don't sweep regularly, which I don't. haha I like the information on this post with everyone's suggestions and preferences. Gives me ideas.....

That's fantastic! Happy looking kids you have there.

Here is my one color piece. Sitting in the sun drying as we speak. I coated it in Danish oil.

I ordered some FD Polar blades yesterday. Excited to give them a try!.
-
Wow, thanks again everyone! Really great info here. I finished cutting out the one I started and just don't like it. I'll be trying all the same wood thickness on this next one and try for no more than 1/2 an inch thick total and see where that gets me. I'm just using scrap birch I have laying around and I can plane it to whatever thickness I need. I'll trial and error it based off all your comments. I'll get this..... Thank you so much!!

We heat our shop and our house in the winter with a wood burning stove so all scraps go towards helping keep us warm. In the summer we use it for bon fires and such.

Been seeing the FD Polar blades mentioned a lot in these forums. I would like to give them a try. Do you have any pros and cons to share? Where are you all purchasing these from, besides Amazon. Want to support small business if I can. Thanks

I'm new and like it as is, but also fine with the changes you mentioned above. Whatever makes your life easier with running this forum. Just please don't get rid of "unread content" as that is my first stop.

That is nice. Bet that would sell well up here in Alaska.

Here is the 2nd planter I have done. The first was the pug, which I delivered today to my neighbor and she loves it- Yay. Now the bulldog is complete and ready for his new home. I think I picked the perfect boards for the butt ends. LOL

Thank you so much. I probably am pushing the blade to much. I'm cutting like I would a single piece, just moving along pretty as I please. Yikes. I will finish this one with the 3 boards and try the "slow down and let catch up technique" and see how that goes. The next one I do I'll keep it to 1/2 in and see if I do better.

I am using Alaska birch which is considered a hard wood, as far as I know. The table is squared up (I actually remembered to check that. haha).

I wanted to make ornaments with this pattern and thought why not save time and stack cut them like so many others do. I think I'm doing it wrong.... I screwed 3 pieces of wood together. 2 are a 1/4 in and 1 is a 3/8 in (which is on the bottom). Because some of the internal cuts are so small, I have to use a small blade. I've tried several kinds from 2/0 to 3. The top boards seems to look fine but the bottom board is a mess and I have to put up a serious fight to get some of the cutouts cleared. I'm thinking the bottom board is the culprit. Would appreciate any advice on the topic. Thanks

WOW!
