I once made plywood from 1/4 cedar planks and then carved with a dremel -- If you watch close while doing it you can make it work for you amazingkevin and ChelCass 2 Quote

Does it separate and break easily on the edges? I usually used a sanding drum for the most part -- but I did use a Kutzall on the bow -- the glue line transitions can be a bit rough if you don't clamp it tight enough while gluing the layers together -- the planks are very dry but they can have some amazing color -- The bow and feathers were 4 layers and the flower was 6 layers -- all alternating the grain direction -- the big feather was just a single plank Edited April 16, 2020 by cashew Tomanydogs 1 Quote
