Title: My First Try.
Post by: geneVG on August 24, 2011, 10:11:40 pm

What do you think.  What could I have done better.  I used 1/4  inch BB for the cutting.

Looks pretty good to me Gene! The only thing I would of done differently is I would of used a Hardwood. Something like Mahogany, Cherry or walnut.

I think you are right Dan.  The spear is kind of fragil.

Gene,
What came to mind was keep on keeping on, it will get easier and smoother as you go along.
Looking good,
Gabby

Gene you did good.. I've made many of the trails end feathers, not that pattern but one similar.. I used BB also and had no trouble with the piece being too fragile, but again I like the tiny things.. Please keep cutting you're doing great... Sheila

I agree with Dan, cut them out of hard wood next time apart from that you did a great job.
