Popular Post RabidAlien Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Found this little guy over on Etsy ("DXFpage") and thought it would be a fun cut. Not too many pilot holes, maybe 25 or so, but.....dang. All that fur is just jagged lines and thin margins! So...yep, DEFINITELY a fun cut! Double-cut from 3/8" bbply, Pegas #1MG blades (two, I think). Its been a busy couple of weeks so it took me a lot longer (calendar-wise) than I thought it would, but probably close to 10-12 hours tops. The project will be stained dark, I'm thinking Minwax Ebony or Provincial, and I'm thinking about a couple of backer options...may just go with a flat ply backer, stained a lighter shade to contrast. I have a bunch of old pallet wood that would look cool, but I think it'll end up too dark even with a light oak stain. We'll see.

John B Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nice cutting. This is one of those where I think I'd do almost the whole thing with spirals. Wilson142, amazingkevin, RabidAlien and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I would have thought that it had more pilot holes than that. Fabulous piece but a bit of a heart stopper to cut I bet. Great work. Marg RabidAlien and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those where I think I'd do almost the whole thing with spirals. I have a not-quite-hateful relationship with spirals. Need to use them more often to get all the kinks worked out and let my fingers get used to them. 6 hours ago, wombatie said: I would have thought that it had more pilot holes than that.

I was just guestimating on the raccoon, but I've done wordart that had more holes than this guy. 6 hours ago, amazingkevin said: What a piece of work!!!1 Thank you sir!
