First try with spiral blades

[rjones]

Took birchbarks awesome pattern, and tried spiral blades for the first time. Must say I am not a big fan of spiral blades at this time, but will surely break down and try again in the future. All comments welcome.

Look great! Don't give up it gets easier.

I tried them a couple of time and didn't feel any better after the second time and gave all my spiral blades away.

Great cutting.  Keep at the spirals, but also keep up with the flat blades.  They both have their place.  I really like that pattern.  Hope to give it a try someday.

Paul is right, both flat and spiral blades are great......That is great work ...Keep it up !

Not bad at all for a first go with spirals.  I have found that they like most things need practice before folks get good using them.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I can't do a whole project with them, but in certain tight areas I do well with spiral blades. I generally don't like them for most uses though.

I think that is actually Sasho's pattern aka Neptun.

By jove i think he's got it ! Perfect job with the infamous spirals.Once you know how to use them you'll never forget just like riding a bike.if didn't know better i'd say you were a master at them.

You did a terrific job using the spirals but I will stick to my flat blades thanks.

My apologizes to all.  This is a pattern by Neptune.  Sorry for the mistake and misrepresentation.

A well done pattern and cutting.  Spirals do have their place and it does take time and practise.

I too had he same feelings as I cut my first couple of spirals but I have to say that I am glad that I gave it more chances as I am just now beginning to understand that some day I too just might have those dreaded spirit mastered. Who knows. I still can't imagine that I will ever abandon my straight blades. The more versatile one can be, the more successful they can be. I guess that is why scrolling is an ever learning process
