Popular Post jimmyG Posted November 20, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Since I don't waste my time watching any sports I decided to do my new favorite time killer, working in the shop (Scrolling something) Decided on this SG rabbit pattern. Reduced in size by 20% to fit a scrap of 3/8" canary wood I had laying around. FrankEV, dgman, JackJones and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't waste a nano second watching a bunch of over paid cry babies playing a game. Rather watch the finish on my projects dry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Speaking of watching sports. I went to my Daughters for an early Thanksgiving this week end. My Son and Son-in-Law are huge sports fans. Play fantasy football an hockey. I watched more sports in one day than I have watch in the past ten years and do not care if I do not see anymore for the rest of my life. Looking at wood turning on the scroll saw is the sport I love. But not complaining it was a wonderful weekend with family. danny and Wichman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this time I've been thinking the other way - enlarge the pattern. It never occurred to me to reduce a pattern. There is a lot of scrap wood I have laying around I can use up. DOPE SLAP ! Thanks for reminding me to look both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nearly impossible to get a 1/4" piece delivered perfectly flat.. Ocooch Hardwood replaced a piece of that plus Padauk and Wenge and they also came cupped as well.. I tried to salvage some strips but it was tough. That's how I made these little starfish drink coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 That is my experience also. Cupping is a pain and none of the methods I have read or watched to un-cup wood have been successful for me. I have the best result of preventing cupping by stacking the wood with spacer strips between each piece. weight on top and let it sit for about 3 week before trying to use it. Still not 100% but less cupping. My thought is they cut the wood too green to begin with. Just my thoughts I do not know. I also have had better luck with Cherokee woods https://www.cherokeewood.com and I feel they let their wood dry longer. Again just my thoughts and experience. I have purchase wood from Ocooch many times. And will porbably continue to do so, but nothing less than 1/2" thick. Both places give great service.
