Title: EAGLE !
Post by: BigPete on February 15, 2012, 03:00:51 am

An Eagle cut from 6.5mm (1/4") birch plywood and mounted on a backing board covered in black felt. It measures 39" wing tip to wing tip.
I counted the cuts in the fish and was amazed to find that there were 189 in the fish alone  :o
Another great pattern by Charlie Dearing!
The pic is taken at a slight angle to try and protect the pattern...Pete

Wow!  39inches wide.  Wow!  Bet u used spiral blades.  Looking at your work and it looks very, very good I feel like a midget with the size of work I have always done.  Charlie is among to Best Designers there is in this trade....  :+}

Once again i thank you for all your very kind comments .
Got myself a little confused (easy at my age!) when i was posting it , as the cutting is 33" and not 39" as stated ! it is the backing that is 39" ::)
Tomsunna, I have seen your work and it is only one cut at a time,,Go for it  ;)
Danny , Yes spiral blades the more i do the more confident i am with them!
Marg, you bet i was holding my breath  ;) the cuts round the tail of the fish are very thin and as you will know with spirals it it very easy to cut through. The thin ply that i had on the underside is almost through so very close, but i am very pleased with the outcome  ;D.....Pete
