Recommended Posts

I thank the pattern maker. I cannot find my original copy so do ot know where I got the pattern.

Been told I thank Steve Good.

 

Stack cut two from 1/2" Maple.

Dimensions are:  12" x 8 1/2"

I had a problem cutting the fins......

Just finished cutting.  Still need to lacquer finish and attach backers.

                               Critiques Tolerated   :D:o   :lol:

Larry , way to trot out the Trout !.........Well done !......What blade did you use when stack cutting 1/2 Maple ?

Steve, I've been scrolling for 10+ years and am still experimenting with blades.

For cutting these trout using two 1/2" maple boards (stacked = 1") I used:

1) #2 Olson FR440R  .026 x .011 .... These for fins, inside tail, small cuts.

2) #2 Olson FR443     .029 x .012 .... for speckles, eyes and gills.

3) #3 Flying Dutchman Penquin Silver .031 x .013

 

 

Disclaimer: I would not necessarly use these blades for different patterns / different wood.

                      I know blades by width and thickness   Smallest I use is .022 x .009, largest .044 x .0??                                                                           I generally know the size blade (ie: .026 x .011) I want to start with.

                Depending on how it cuts, determines if I change.

Looks like the one on the right was on the bottom.
