Butterfly kirigami

[RabidAlien]

Yet another kirigami piece from .  1/4 bbply, I found its cheaper to get the 4'x8' sheet and cut it down into manageable quarters than to buy the smaller pre-cut sheets.  Single-stacked this one, so it used a lot of Pegas #0/2MG blades.  Stains are Minwax "Natural" and "Honey".

Fine cutting!   Thanks for sharing.  Great choice for stains too.

Great precision cutting.  Make a beautiful piece.

Very beautiful and fine cutting Kirk.

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.

Excellent cutting, RJ

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).

What a lovely piece.  Well done.
