Joe W. Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Couple more Steve Good patterns that appealed to me. 3/4" select pine and #5 Pegas MGR blades. It was interesting cutting 3/4" pine; cutting with the grain and thru knots cut slower and then across the grain went faster. Oh, and something else I did with the sun pattern was to drill holes just past points of the sun's rays - it eliminated to make a loop with the saw blade and come back around. I enlarged the patterns a bit - the sun is 8 1/2" and the owl is just under 9". For the owl, I used a leftover piece of flat white PVC. One of these days I need to move on to the next step and finish what I've cut. Or talk my wife into doing it.

Dak0ta52 Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Great job Joe. I know what you mean with the pine. Have experienced it myself on some of my pine projects. As far as finishing, I rather enjoy doing that as long as it's stain, sanding and sealer. If I have a piece that is going to be painted, I usually leave that to my wife.
