Title: Yet another Sheila Landry Pattern
Post by: Mainewoods on April 16, 2011, 08:34:00 am

Goldfinch from Sheila's Seasonal Songbird Series.  3/8" Baltic birch ply, lemon oil, satin lacquer, 1/8 birch ply backer with Pecan Polyshades stain.  Cut with FD UR #3 blade.  Had some problems drilling the holes in the frame.  I think my bit might be dull.  Even with an attached backer, the bit still did some tearing on the back side.  Wasn't pretty when I got done drilling it, but after some sanding, I got it to be acceptable.  Bday present for my sister.

Nice job! I love when people posts projects that I have seen and forgot about. I think I have this one buried in the to-do pile. Yours is fantastic.
as for the tear out, did you use a backing piece when you drilled the holes? Having the work piece held tightly to another piece can prevent some of the tearout.
Great Job!

Nice cutting mate, as for the tear out on the back I have found that speed is the key to tear out, even for a small bit the faster the better (sharp bits do help lol)

Thank you everyone.

As for the tear out, I did use a backer, but it didn't seem to help.  I tested the bit yesterday (at different speeds, Merlin ;D) and no matter what I did, I ended up with tear out both on top and bottom, so I'm quite certain it's just plain dull!  That's okay though, I've had this set of bits for a good many years now.

The dimensions are approximately 8" x 8".

Going to try my first attempt at segmentation next for a Mother's Day present.  (Another one of Sheila's patterns!)  Wish me luck!!!  ;)

I'm sure your sister will love it. Nice piece of work. She's a lucky lady. And yes, good luck on your segmentation.

You really did a beautiful job on it!  The drilling is sometimes more difficult than the scrolling on those types of patterns though.  I know what you mean about the tear out.  Sometimes if my drill bit is not sharp or if I try to go too fast it happens to me.  I am glad you were able to make it work for you.

Thank you for making the pattern look really wonderful!  Your sister is going to love it!

Sheila :)
