Practice makes perfect. On the site here Travis has some practice Pages for cutting. I don’t remember where they are but They always help when you practice cutting thin wood with a very fine blade.
Several on Deviant art have done this drawing of John Lennon. I decided to try cutting it. Whoever did the original drawing did a great job. I liked the way it came out. It was pretty simple.
Thanks Smitty for sharing your pattern. I did this in a piece of 1/4" Cherry and finished it with 321. I really like the design and the way it came out. Thanks for looking.
I use a #1 or less. Not a skip tooth for sure. I also found where I get mine must have gone with a cheaper supplier and have a thinner layer of Birch. I never had a problem before. It might just be cheap quality wood.
