Popular Post Charlie E Posted December 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 I reduced this pattern, mostly so I could use a 1" square stick of oak and make the cutting a bit easier. I'm really enjoying playing with compound cutting lately. We have such a wonderful, diverse hobby. namunolie, Foxfold, Woodrush and 14 others 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're joking, but I didn't want to ignore your question if you're serious. It's a compound cut, which means it's cut from one side of the wood, then turned 90 degrees and cut from another side. The insides and outsides fall away leaving this. Not the best explanation but it's a start. Rolf and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Can you glue the cut cores together and get smaller snowmen? Offsprings? Both having fun with words and seeing if waste cutouts can be used. Thanks for the reply Charlie E and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaguarguy Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Great looking snowman! I tried my first compound cut this afternoon - it was a crash and burn. Almost worked but not quite! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried my first compound cut this afternoon - it was a crash and burn. Almost worked but not quite! My first attempt at the snowman turned out to be tiny little kindling. Takes some practice plus the right wood helps too. I cut one today from some wood a man gave me and said it was Mahogany. I'm not sure if it was but it was a bit softer than oak and was much easier to work with. The first one I cut was from pine and it was way too fragile.
