3D compound cutting. Jesus Lives

[rdatelle]

This is a Steve Goods pattern I wanted to try. I used poplar and it's about 8 inches tall. It was a little tricky to do but I managed to finish it. I started out using a #5 polar but when I cut out the U and the V, I noticed that the underside was a little wider when I took the scrap piece out. I guess the blade was wandering a little underneath so I changed to a #7 polar and seem to cut a little better but it was a slow process. The block of wood was 1.5 x 1.5. Maybe I'lll try a #9

Nice piece I like it but boy imagine finishing one that length and opening it to find it has not worked  Great job on your though 

[rdatelle]

I know what you mean Frank. I was a little worried about it because of the two cutout pieces but even though the U and the V are a little wider on the back side, you can't even notice it unless someone points it out. A non scroller would never notice it.

Well done!  I just cut that pattern too.  Yours came out way better than mine did.

very different cutting . I saw it on Steve's site but wasn't really sure what is would look like, cut. Interesting but just one I would not choose to cut.

You did a great job, Ralph,
Personally I cannot imagine cutting that with a #9 or even a #7 for that matter.
Since you mention that a non-scroller wouldn't notice the thickness difference, maybe
you're just being too hard on yourself. I know we all shoot for perfection but, sometimes
we have to give ourselves a little break.
Great work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

You are a braver man than me Ralph.    I would not even try it.  Great work my friend, I commend you on your ability or guts for giving it a go.

very nice job

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Your right Bob, sometimes I am to fussy. What blade would you use on something like that. I was afraid to go smaller. I even cut down on the speed. Maybe i was going to fast with the #5 blade and that;s why it might of wandered a little. Any tips.

I cut one out of popular using a #5 MG Pegas blade.  Which is my go to blade for anything 1/2” or more.
