Popular Post RabidAlien Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted December 3, 2018 So in addition to doing the two 2018 Christmas ornaments for my wife, I also tried some of the 3D ornaments Steve Good had on his site. 4 done so far. I'm out of town most of next week (business trip again), so I probably won't get a chance to finish up the last one, all depends on how the Christmas festivities and functions and obligations go. Fun cuts, quick cuts, but make darn sure your 1x1" blanks are actually 1x1. Apparently my band-saw blade started to bow out a bit, making the blanks a bit concave. Guess its time to see if they still make blades for that particular model (7.5" diameter wheels, old Black and Decker desktop model). Rohn, jollyred, amazingkevin and 8 others 11 Quote

Tomanydogs Posted December 4, 2018 Report Posted December 4, 2018 @RabidAlien thanks. I really like using stain. I don’t have that colour. I’m going to get it. RabidAlien 1 Quote

I'm really liking it....not as dark and overpowering as Dark Walnut, it darkens the wood nicely while leaving the grain/sap to pop out. Quote
