tomsteve Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 which means im at the "complicate it" stage. it measures 30" tall and 22' wide. complicating it has me cutting some wood to get the grain oriented to follow the flow of the feathers wich that= glue ups and more thinkin. first things first,though- think i better get a large auxiliary table for some support on my saw. then keep it simple.

That looks like quite a project. I can't imagine even the drilling that will be required. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 At this stage of my life I can not find the patience to do a project like that. I wish you luck and show us a progress album. meflick, tomsteve and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 One of my favorite patterns. Been thinking of cutting it again one day when the right piece wood comes along. tomsteve and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not plywood. If you are going to make the effort go with real wood. Good luck. Love to see the results. meflick, OCtoolguy, SCROLLSAW703 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredfret Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 One way to get better is to challenge yourself with more difficult patterns. You will be very careful and learn more than by just cutting the same thing. That is a great pattern. Good luck with it.

WayneMahler Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Would love to cut that myself. Maybe someday when I get caught up. And find the pattern. I do agree with staying away from plywood. Something like that deserves a great board. tomsteve and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 30" X22", where would one get a solid piece that size? tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
