Denny Knappen Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The pattern is by Sue Mey. I used 1/2" Eastern Red Cedar. It cut smooth, but I found it very fragile. It cracked in two places, so I had to glue. We will use it as a wall hanging rather than a trivet. I cut it on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3 MGT blades. Comments welcome.

amazingkevin Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Good one and it will brighten up your wall of fame!!! I find cedar is my favorite wood to look at but it is terribly crumbly. I spend more time fixing break outs, than it took to do a project out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrollerpete Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Nice cutting Denny but I agree Eastern Cedar not the best wood for trivet, very fragile, you just look at it and it breaks. The colour and the smell are nice but for trivets I always used Hardwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew this was an easy cut but fragile when I picked out the piece. I really liked the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkort Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 beautiful work!! im sure it looks great on your wall !!! and a nice teaching message as well. so far all I ever use is pine or Baltic burch lol but should I ever find some cider I will know it breaks easely. lol that's also why I only tend to do segmention projects lol I don't need a lot of different kinds of woods lol but I love looking at other peoples work!! iv thought of cheating once , and using my cheap pine wood then staining the pieces the proper wood colors... but then I thought hum better not even if I tell people its stained pine they might not like the idea lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
