Scrolling Steve Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 What a wonderful piece , Dave !.....The special Walnut stain really works with the red oak!....Do you use about a 4/degree angle for the recess cut ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correct. I set it at 4 degrees using a #5 blade. I plane the back of the recessed piece so I can put a backer over the whole thing.

fastfreddy Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Looks like a lot of fine cutting, love red oak wood, I really need to try the inlay thing. It really looks great, hope to do something similar one day. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The work of a "pro". The attention to small and important details always makes you pieces a cut above. I would not have thought of insetting the circle piece with the initial, but it adds so much class to the overall piece. Great job.

Blaughn Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I am impressed. I have found walnut to be very unforgiving of fine cuts. I tried to cut one of Shela Landry's plaques in walnut but the drop-outs broke with the grain at the bridge. Great job! Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Great work as always Dave. It looks so fragile in places and yet the inner circle round the initial is so well cut it is perfectly round. Very well done. Rob Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
