Great cuts without spiral blades.I have a job with them also.My question is How do you hang these items?

One of those bar picture hangers super glued to the back works great.  These are not heavy so they do not need to be nailed or screwed in place.

Nice work. What blade did you use?

Believe it or not folks I used a #3 Ultra Reverse and took my time.  Ran my speed way up though to around 7 but kept my feed speed down to a reasonable speed.  I am not all that happy with spirals for doing lettering as I have trouble seeing at times

I was most graciously given two pieces of Jatoba by Karl with the following conditions.. that I cut this pattern from Sheila Landry Designs and that I post pictures of them.. Not a problem   Sealed with Tung Oil and then top coated with satin lacquer.  The backing is 1/8 BB.

Nicely done Danny.  I can relate to your problem.  I too have some wood from Karl and I will post pictures of the completed works as soon as the finish dries enough to handle.

I use generally the blue painters tape from harbor freight.  as long as the wood is clean and free from sawdust the tape works just fine and is cheaper then the tape you get at the big box stores like Lowes or Menards.  It is thinner though.

Matt that is great!  The thing to remember that unless you have a ton of hours to spend doing nothing but cutting and finishing you are only one person and can only make so much at a time.  If you make smart choices on what you make and how you price them they will sell.  They buying public is fickle though   Sometimes what you might consider substandard and not worth any attention some will think the opposite and really want it.  Anyway, keep it going you are doing great work.

Nicely done Matt. Perhaps the next one will be totally out of wood, perhaps a folding lock blade?  Thanks for sharing this with us.
