Very detailed piece with a lot of fret work. Cutting this piece with MGT blades had you doing a lot of spinning on the table top. The end results turned out great.

 

It is one dizzy butterfly.  :)  Honestly, though, cutting the OUTSIDE was worse than all of the inside cuts, not only from the fear of lopping off something critical at the very last minute, but because all of those little twigs and leaves and stuff....LOTS of cornering.

Take it  easy on yourself and try using a spiral blade on these fret projects. Sure make it a lot less stressful when you do.  Great job on your piece. all the detail is there.

I have a slew of spiral blades, but those things tend to stress me out more than spinning a flat blade around a tight corner.  :)  Its usually when something on the bottom snags the table on my saw and throws the blade into a good piece that I get to use my really juicy words.  Seems like delamination is getting worse these days, need to start hitting the undersides with shellac again (helps hold everything together and cuts down on fuzzy edges).
