Popular Post flarud Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 My version of the Santa truck by Steve Good. I didn't care for the reindeer on the side but didn't want to leave it blank. The wife printed out the words on her Cricut. I have a couple more in the works. One made from BB ply that the wife wants to paint and another made from old grey pallet wood. Man this Maple was hard to cut! I have cut Maple before but it was't this hard to cut. I tried several different kinds of blades. Maybe it is Hard Maple? Is Hard Maple actually harder to cut than Soft Maple?

Scrappile Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Super job!! Looks to me you found the right stuff to cut the Hard Maple. Perfect! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney b Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) when I get my saw working I want to cut that pattern. (if I can figure out how to get a copy of it!) I actually had a '49 f1, and that reminds me of it. I want to do some different wheels, and maybe some flames! you did a good job! thanks for posting that picture. I just thought....I have access to a cricut too...my daughter-in-law is darn good with one!

I just thought....I have access to a cricut too...my daughter-in-law is darn good with one! As mentioned, it is on Steve Good's site. I have been getting lazy with cutting letters and words lately,, it's much easier to have the wife cut out on the Cricut what I need!

wombatie Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I love it and I really like the Ford sign. Well done. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Really like that. I think the "Ford" is much better than a deer. I may have to cut that, it re-mind's me of an Aussie Xmas song OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McDonald Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Great job and yes, hard maple is quite a bit tougher than soft maple. They make cutting boards out of hard maple. Not sure what the difference is as far as trees go, but the final product is vastly different.

The piece was included in a box of "cut-offs" from Ocooch Hardwoods that I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
