Tree of Life
« on: March 23, 2011, 11:46:59 pm »
I made this today while I was snowed in.
It is 1/8" baltic birch plywood, the top layers are stained "early american" and the background is normal plywood. Finish is spray laquer.
Elsewhere on the forum, CNLNC posted a request for a video of someone cutting. I happened to think that I could set up my tripod and film the process. I was a couple of cuts into the project when I started and the camera battery died before the end, but I did get it on camera. There is no talking during the video, just the saw. If you are interested, the links are below.

Great cutting.  Videos were good.  Except I coulden't watch the scrolling to much because of the Wisconsin shirt.  Go Badgers tonight
