Hey Bob, I always use a light colored wood for the overlay such as Maple, and a dark wood for the backer such as Walnut, Mahogany or Sapelee.

 

I always cut the inside cuts first, starting with the smallest and most delicut cuts, then the out side.

To make cutting easier, I will stack two or three layers of 1/4" material. This is called stack cutting. It makes the cutting more stable and you get multiple cuttings.

Paul excellent job.  I agree somewhat with your that it might pop a bit more if there were more definition in color.  I think perhaps if either the horse or the backer were a couple shades darker it would stand out proudly.  I do like it just as it is though.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Paul very nice cutting will have to give it a go some time.

On another note: I see you have the same saw as me, what I done with the hold down foot is I left the rod on the saw and just removed the foot , so when you are tightening the blade with your thumb your other fingers wrap around the rod for more control.

If that sounds not right I'll post a pic later today.

Hi Paul I use a light oil like 3 in 1 but most of the time I use oil air tool oil.

Here's the pic of my tattooed hand clamping the blade lever down while my fingers are around the foot rod, it just makes it easier to use the lever.
