Title: Owl
Post by: Dan26 on April 06, 2013, 11:01:47 am: Finally finished this one. Well, almost. I have a little more cleaning up then I'll have to make a frame. I'm happy with it.

I made the pattern from a video clip. I found a few bugs in the pattern I made so I hope to be able to share it next week if anyone is interested.

About 305 cuts. I used a #1 spiral on all cuts except the 3 large areas. I think it took about 3 or 4 hours to cut. I burned most of the fuzzies off but see I missed a few.

Comments/critiques welcome.

Post by: GrayBeard on April 06, 2013, 02:27:03 pm: I met that sucker one night on my way back from the well at the campground! He flew right at my head until I jerked the flashlight up in his eyes and veered off. I don't think he had visions of carrying me off but he was so big I decided to not take chances!

Nice pattern and well cut!

Post by: Dan26 on April 06, 2013, 04:40:54 pm: Thanks everyone.

GB - Years ago my brother was walking across a field to the woods and one of these suckers stole his hat.

EIEIO - I just used Inkscape. A lot of work.

Post by: Keefie on April 07, 2013, 11:02:17 am: Awesome work Dan, love the pattern. What took you 3 - 4 hours to cut, will probably take me a couple of days ( I am a slow cutter and have to take a break every 20mins or so to move my leg about)
Beautifully cut and I can't wait to see the finished framed Owl.

Thanks.

Post by: ShadowB6 on April 08, 2013, 02:01:29 am: Amazing job Dan. An average of 100 cuts per hour is a great pace. You must have extremely nimble fingers.

Thanks guys (and gals).

Mike, with the spiral blade and many small cuts, I was able to do two or three of the small ones per minute. Gotta love top feeding.

Post by: Dan26 on April 20, 2013, 12:53:12 pm: I finally got the frame done. My table saw sled must have got bumped because the corners are off a bit. Oh well, I guess I'll have to fix it before the next frame.

The frame is sassafras, which smells wonderful when cutting. Glass front with black matting in the back.

Post by: EIEIO on April 20, 2013, 03:57:27 pm: Nice. The frame looks great. The owl seems to be raised - nice effect.
