3D cut

[RabidAlien]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand finished.  Wood was a 2x2 from Lowes, probably pine or something else cheap, since blade-exit didn't leave feathers so much as it took chunks with it.  Next time, a 2x4 of harder wood, ripped down the center, will be my wood of choice.  Lots of holes, lots of blade moves, lots of fighting with scrap chunks that got caught in side cross-channels (cross-hatching the scrap wood as I cut it, instead of trying for a solid piece, helped immensely).  This was a fun cut to do, and I look forward to doing more like it!

 

Sanded with a cheap nail file cut in half lengthwise...multiple interior layers as channels cross themselves means multiple "exit feathers" to take off.  Finished with BLO, currently on stands, drying.

I wasn't planning on posting this one, just wanted to see if the concept was worth pursuing further with better wood.  But here's what I used.
