Title: Dummy Shoppe
Post by: woodyd on August 12, 2011, 02:40:38 pm: Was asked to make a sign for a friend who makes puppets. Usually, I make small desk top word art, baskets and portraits. This will be my largest project about 18" x 10". I cut a small one last night to see how it would look. Here's the results. Any thoughts on cutting something that large. Will be using 1/2" oak.

Thanks

My only suggestion would be that you might be better off with maple or poplar than oak due to the open grain and brittle aspect of the oak, but then you may already have it on hand or it might have been part of the request. Either way the design looks good!

If you have a 16" throat, you will have to cut from one side, then from the other side. Either way, you should be able to cut it.
