Popular Post MikeTodd5 Posted March 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted March 15, 2023 This is by far the most intricate piece I've made, very happy with how it turned out! Walnut and maple finished with danish oil. 11 Quote

gee-dub Posted March 28, 2023 Report Posted March 28, 2023 First off, Welcome! Secondly, how fun. Looks like a great project and a fancy way to hold the morning Joe. 1 Quote
Coop Posted March 29, 2023 Report Posted March 29, 2023 That’s really cool! How did you cut the fingers/strips? Trying to second guess Marc; straight cutting router bit, dado set and cleaned up with a chisel? 1 Quote

I have the incra 3000 mitre sled and a freud flat top grind saw blade that is 1/8 inch wide, so I cut once and then move over 1/16 inch and have my 3/16 inch groove. Maybe it's cheating but it's easier than a chisel lol 1 Quote

Maybe it's cheating but it's easier than a chisel lol As for the strips I turned a feather board backwards to create a positive stop on the left side of my blade so my strip wasn't against my fence. And I just kept snugging up my fence to the board against the stop and ripping the strips till it was too thin for comfort 2 Quote
Enzo Caleb Posted September 23 Report Posted September 23 That sounds like an incredible piece! Walnut and maple together must look stunning, especially with the Danish oil finish. The intricate details really show your skill—congratulations on a job well done! Quote
