Ken O Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Had a request for some earrings. The picture was pretty grainy so my daughter redrew them and I cut them out this weekend. amazingkevin, jellis and Loskoppie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ken done a few earrings myself I like the knot idea. Thank for showing Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks everyone! The earrings are all just over an inch across. The Fairy/Moon design was pretty tough but if I go really slow with a 28 tooth Olson blade it turned out good and I didn't loose any of them. These are out of 1/8 birch ply. The thing that I think will be nice is that they don't weigh anything at all, should be easy to wear. I did 3 sets of fairies and 6 sets of the celtic knots for my girls and a friend of mine who was the one who noticed the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsN Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I love wooden jewelry! I make a lot of different varieties of necklace/earring sets. Yours are very nice. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Those are great looking. Not sure I could do something like that but may take a shot at it. Got 2 daughters who I think would love to have them. Can you give me a bit more detail on how you did them. Blade number, stack cut, speed, etc. Don't mean to be a pest but would love all the information I can get. Also the source of the design or pattern. thanks for any help you can share. jim penquin17742@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Jim, No problem, happy to share. My daughter re-drew them from a picture she found on the internet. I'll attach it here though I have no idea where it originally came from. These were done from 1/8 birch plywood. I sanded the blanks first before cutting because I know they would be too small and fragile afterwards. I taped them together and stack cut 3 at a time with an Olson 28 tooth reverse blade. I made sure after the first one to put tape on the back also to reduce chip out when drilling and cuting. I had my Dewalt 788 set at 3 on the speed, which is my standard speed for most everything I do. I'm not sure how fast that is compared to other machines.
