My First Try.
« 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.

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

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

Thanks Russ, but I'm not braggen, I'm looking how I can do better.  I am working on some pieces that I will use the brag form.

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