Montserrat Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I made the first batch from an old board (used to be part of a shelf) that my hubby had laying around the shop. I smelled very nice - so maybe it was Cedar? But two pieces broke out of blue along the grain. The Osvaldo on the last inch of the outside cutting, smack through the O, all the way through. The Madelyn piece broke off the "l" while sanding and then I accidentally dropped it and the top of the "e" came off. Again right along the grain of the wood. No idea why this happened. The Brandon, I cut diagonally to the grain. It was fine. Ended up using Oak for William. ChelCass and bobscroll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywoodmaster Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 You did a graet job of hiding your problems. Cedar is really bad about cracking along the grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have only ever cut cedar once and I swore I would never cut it again. Considering your problems they cam out great, well done. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your control is tops along with your skills,Looks like it might be soft pine ,? not sure.Smart use of a shelf with no waste back to back cutting Good job all in all,Merry Christmas and a joyous Happy New Year! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
