R.I.P. Charlie Daniels

[OzarkSawdust]

I cut this Russ Beard pattern today. 1/8 Baltic Birch ply. First time I cut something with Pegas 2/0 spirals that didn't end up in the trash!  But I only had 2 blades left, that I had abused before, and they broke. Finished Charlie's coat with a #1 Pegas.

I have no idea who Charlie Daniels is but you did a great job of the portrait.  Well done.

He'll be kicking that Devils arse again
Nice cutting.
I often use both flat and spiral blades, just for that sort of thing. Long straight, looping cuts the flat  lots of twists and turns = Spiral

He was a well known country singer. And a fantastic fiddle player. If you like country music go on You Tube and listen to a few of his songs.

Thanks for the complement!

He surely will! Thanks for the complement!

I started the first cut with a Pegas #1 MG that was in the saw. Then I thought I would give "the Devil's blade" aka spiral another try. Usually it eats everything it touches and I throw it in the trash, but I got it to behave...mostly. I only had  the 2 blades left so I cut the tight stuff first and when the last blade broke the only thing left to do was his coat. 

I'll order some today. The only ones I've tried were 2/0. Is there any other sizes that work well? Or is a larger size easier to learn spiral cutting?

I have a supply of #1, 2 and 3's. spirals. Depending upon how fine the cut is or the width of the lines as to which blade I use.
Just have fun
