Popular Post Old Joe Posted November 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 This Charles Dearing Gandalf pattern took a while. I cut it out of 1/2” African Rosewood, backed in cherry. The Rosewood is all natural color wise, but I did darken the cherry behind the wizard. I also didn’t like all of the space over his staff so I did an Eagle inlay to break it up a little. This will probably be my last major scrolling on my Dewalt 788 as I got my new Pegas in a couple of days ago.

Scrappile Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Awesome!! You did a fine job. I have that pattern, don't know much about Gandslf, I just think it is one neat and challenging pattern. Love the patterns of a face with real character. Hope to cut it this next year.

I don’t usually break many blades, but I went through a few because of the combination or the thick wood and the tiny cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pellow Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well done! If you can achieve that skill using a Dewalt, saw, I can only begin to imagine what you will turn out with your new Pegas saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Really cool. Nice touch with the addition of the inlay. Gotta ask, what type of blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 That is one great cutting job. Looks a little intricate for me. What size blade did you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I am curious as to the size and what blades did you use? Such a great job in thick material and gives a different feeling than if cut in thin material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used primarily Pegas MG #3, MG#1’s, and a few 2/0’s. Also, Pegas Spirals #1 and Spiral 2/0’s. I broke a few of the spirals, some rather quickly due to the thickness of the wood. I found the small Pegas spirals to be very fragile. This was not a nominal 1/2”, but a full 1/2” African Rosewood board. It cut with some difficulty. I probably wouldn’t use it on a complicated portrait again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joe Posted December 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Also, I pretty much made this for myself, but I was asked last night if I would be interested in selling it. Man, this has a lot of hours, and though not outrageously expensive for the materials, let’s just say it wasn’t Baltic Birch cheap. If I decide to offer it for sale I will set the price quite high and I’d if it doesn’t fetch what I think it should, so be it. It will go into the Old Joe Collection.
