Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted April 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 In case you missed it, I cut these for the current issue of "Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts". They are approximately 8" in diameter and 3/4" thick. I used Purple Heart for one and Yellowheart for the other. If I were to make these again, I would eliminate the outer ring of small frets on the Yellow Heart.

rjR Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 They look great and that took some time. I hope you stack cut them so you have extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t stack cut these. The wood was too hard to stack cut. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 They both look great Denny! I plan on cutting both as soon as I get some more wood. It looks like you cut the round holes in the Purpleheart one. I plan on drilling them to save time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Joe Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Nice cutting, Denny. Purple Heart in 3/4” is tough. I have cut a few things with it, including a detailed crab. Good quality, sharp blades are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Kile Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'm still working with "cheap" woods and will eventually graduate to the more expensive woods some day. Wonderful consistency on your cuts Denny. I really like what you've done. Are the designs your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Denny, They look good. What blade did you use on the Purple Heart? I've been cutting some and it sure is hard and tough on blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
