A couple more quick cuts

[RabidAlien]

I started on a pretty detailed H.Botas pattern (eagle fighting a rattlesnake), and got about an hour into the cut when the plywood started delaminating.  Badly.  Thankfully I wasn't too far in or I would've had to start cursing in a language other than English, having exhausted all of my normal, everyday foul language.  So I did the adult thing:  chunked the bad section (whilst muttering under my breath...), reprinted the pattern (a little bit larger this time....this thing is INTRICATE), and fired up a couple of quick-n-easy patterns to get some finishes under my belt and reset my braincell. 

 

H.Botas rock-n-roll G-nome, and an arrowhead pattern by Sue Walker that I've had for a while, found it in the pattern library.  Gnome is backed by a tie-dye printout on regular printer paper, found it on Google Images.  Arrowhead is a piece of cedar fencing, stained Minwax "Honey".

Both are excellent.

 

I really like the arrowhead one the best though! 

I may have to try to draw a similar and cut it.

It was a quick cut.  I'm also wanting to say she's got a couple more, wolf, bear, deer.  I'll probably take a rummage through the Pattern Library again and pull those out, as well.

keep busy. Breakages are not fun but getting mad does not change anything. I try to look at those times as more reason to spend time in my shop. It doesn't get better than that

  Yep.  Also an excuse to reprint the pattern at 125% so that the thin lines are a bit thicker, more robust.....and less likely to bust.
