earrings

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.

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,

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.
