First dog puzzle (thanks Iggy)

[jbrowning]

Just finished my first dog puzzle. It is cut out of 3/4" Poplar with no finish on it yet, cut with a FDUR #5. I cut out the design first, then cut out the veins the inside cuts and then I cut out the puzzle pieces. It was a lot of fun cutting this out. I need to work on keeping my blade from flexing.

 

Thanks Iggy for you help on getting me started on these.

 

 

 

Thanks

Nicely done.  Puzzles are fun to cut, hard to stop after just one.

Use a very light touch holding the wood so the blade springs back to 90 degree .Makes for one time cuts that go together easy.

Use a new blade on each puzzle too, to keep the blade from bending.

Very nice clean cutting Jim !

I  will cut 6-8 pieces with one blade-doing the ID and OD Then change blades to do the rest.

Nicely done Jim.  You'll get comfortable with everything and blade flexing won't be an issue after you cut 2 or 3 hundred of them.  ;-)

 

Is the poor fella blind though?

 

I will not stop until I turn all of you into dog puzzle making zombies!!!!!

Thanks everyone, it was a lot of fun cutting this one. I can see how they can become addicting to cut. After the holidays are over I will start working on these of an evening.

That looks really good Jim. Iggy inspired me and I finished my first two or three days ago and have been working on three more. I have been doing a poodle this mourning.

 

Merry Christmas

Good looking puzzle Jim, I think it needs an eye though. It looks good as is, but, if there was an eye where there should be, it would look a lot better.
