A wall plaque made from basswood and a modified and resized Sheila Landry pattern and some Steve Good ornaments made out of Chery and Red Oak. The music staff is a modified Steve Good Pattern made from Black Walnut and backed with Baltic Birch plywood.
I found some 1/8" Birch plywood in my basement and tried my first portrait. I used a spiral blade on the first attempt and was not happy at all with the results. I then tried a #1 blade and made a zero clearance table top for the DW788 and it turned out much better. I backed the portrait with another layer of plywood painted black.
I've got a 6 inch Delta. Works good and has been trouble free. My only gripe is that the bed and fence are made of aluminum so it will leave black marks on light colored wood at times. Easily sands off though.
Hello everyone, I was thinking about trying some portrait cutting. What is the best plywood for this and where would be a good place to get it? Thanks!
