This is going to my Father-In-Law who is 89.  This pattern pushed my skill limit. I do plan to do another for my neighbor.

I tried using a #1 Pegas MGT blade, but could not control it well. I ended up doing most of it using a #3 MGT which seems to be my go to blade.

Hi Matt.  Very well done.  The #3 would be the go to blade.

Nice cutting but u failed to mention what kind of wood and how thick. Hard to make recommendations. 

[Matt B]

The wood is 3/8" maple with a boiled linseed finish.  The backer is 1/4" baltic birch.

The challenge for me was some of the smaller letters such as the G in God and the S's in Bless. Most of the other letters were just straight lines which were not too hard.

[Scrappile]

Yes, well done.  I added the pattern to my library for "some day".

Excellent work Matt, that came out great!

[OzarkSawdust]

Great cut!

very nicely made. He will surely love it. Always good to challenge yourself and when you finish the challenge well, like you did this one, you know that you have the ability to do more of this type of pattern and before you know it, you understand that you can now go a step even further in your skill level

I bet now you wish you had stacked cut two at a time.  I would have used a #3 MG also. Very good cutting!
