Leopard cut in Bamboo

[heppnerguy]

Bamboo is a material that I love for cutting when I can get it. I loved this Leopard pattern, of which I can not remember who designed it but I would love to that the author of it for making it available. The bamboo is about 3/8 thick and cuts very nicely with no fuzzies from drilling of cutting. I cut it with a #1 Pegas spiral blade because it goes so much quicker and a lot easier to do than a straight blade. I sprayed it with 3 layers of Deft semi gloss. I am constantly looking for somewhere to purchase the Bamboo wood at the size and thickness I want to use. It seems to be a little difficult to find around Phoenix but I know it has to be here waiting for me to make a purchase. I used a 1/4 inch BB  Ply for the backer board. I cut this a couple of weeks ago but have not gotten around to taking a photo and posting it until now.

Great job. Dick.  You have been whipping them out lately...

Very nicely done Dick. I like cutting bamboo also. For scrolling projects I buy cutting boards that are made from bamboo, even the dollar store sells them.

Here's the dollar tree bamboo cutting board, .35" thick ( .375 is 3/8" ).

Looks great Dick.

The style reminds me of a Russ Beard pattern.  Wonder if this is one of his?

First of all, terrific work Dick.

Second try Googling Bamboo ply wood in your area.

Third you can usually find some cheap chopping boards in cheap stores.
