Thanks to bobscroll for this wonderful pattern I found this pattern in the pattern library.  I reduced the pattern to fit an 8" square piece of 1/2" Butternut.  It is approximately 7 1/2" in diameter.  The blades were FD UR #1 and #5.  The finish is one coat of sanding sealer, sanded, and two coats of spray polyurethane.  Comments welcome.

Denny, a friend gave me a 5/4 slab of Butternut.  I am a little worried about the extent of the open grain - worried about drop-outs breaking off.  Did you experience any problems?  That is a beautiful piece.

Thanks, Bruce.  Butternut is very soft, but easy to work.  Yes, the grain is open, but using the sanding sealer and sanding with a mac mop solved the grain issue.  No problem with the cutting and fall outs.  I would not recommend anything thinner than 1/2"
