New Item...The Horse
« on: October 03, 2010, 05:43:02 pm »
The Horse...New experience....2/0 FD New Spiral, Boxwood 'round'...the new blade (to me) and cutting the 'end grain'  was a whole new 'learning project'! Totally different feel as the blade is cutting this type of wood.

Very Nice GB! I have used the NS spirals, and I can't imagine using a regular spiral blade. Is the round blank the type available at Michael's?

That's the one...make sure you look them over CAREFULLY!
The supplier likes to hide bad spots under the label.

Cut, dipped in Danish Oil, dried and sprayed with semi-gloss lacquer.

Nice job Greybeard, I never thought about the grain direction, until you mentioned it, I bet it does feel different cutting.

Nice job.  Beautiful.

I was wondering how long it took you to cut this out?  I saw this pattern and thought it might take a while.

Karl I can't actually tell how long it took since I was working on other things in my shop at the same time and would cut for a while and do other stuff.

Probably about 1 1/2 hours cause I was going very slow and somewhat 'fighting' with the crazy grain pattern.
