A break from cutting puzzles

[jamieline]

Needed a break from cutting puzzles and with icing conditions outside decided to cut another Americana Series from Jim Blume. I cut #1 yesturday. I had cut #2 last week.

First time using sprial blades.

Thanks Jim Blume for great patterns. Going to do more of the series. I have #12 ready to start on. Now to make frames.

Very nice work.  Especially for first time using spirals.  Jims patterns are great.

Excellent work. I'm also working on the Americana series by Jim. Just too cold to get into my shop.

They look great.  Congratulations you got the hang of the spirals straight away, I still hate them.

That's tempting me to give spirals a try.  Well done.

Nice work. @Jim Blume does great looking patterns. I’m sure he will be happy to see  your cut from one of his patterns.

I also love Jim Blume patterns and plan to cut some soon. You did a great job on both of these and congratulations on giving the spiral blades a go. So many either refuse to give them a shot or did not like what happened when they did and refuse to give them another try. Practice makes perfect. a little time and soon one will get the feel of of them.

Those came out great. I still can't get used to the spirals. Still messing with them though.

Thanks all. First time I tried the sprials did not like them but took some time with them and kind of like them for the application here.

I picked up a good selection of the Pegus Sprials from Dennis and will continue to use them. I have made other plaques using the straight blades but will switch to the sprials for those. Yes the more you practice the better. 

Have to get better following the pattern but with the type patterns I going to use the sprials on there is some forgiveness.

Working on another project but will post when framed.

Already started cutting another in the Americana series.
