I have been asked to create a wooden valentines card. I had made one for Jaun last year and decided I would try and advertise to make them. I had a woman on FB ask me to create what I would call a valentines card Irish style. Let me know what ya's think. This is what it would look like on wood including the colors behind the wood. The little Irish phrase on the bottom right corner will be wood burned with golden flecks added. The dimensions are 8 1/2 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide.

Hi Cherie - Nice! I like the idea of a wooden card
Ref the second design. I see you have superimposed the design on a piece of pine board. Whilst I have no experience cutting this type of fretwork on pine I wonder if is too delicate a pattern for pine and if you might run a big risk of pieces dropping out as you are cutting.
Also nit picking on the wording - I had to read the phrase three times to understand the last line because it seemed you could interpret it two ways. I'd change the line to say 'and less than tomorrow'.
Please post in the Fretwork section whatever you decide to go with. I think its a very good idea which other members may wish to follow.Jim in Mexico

LOL Cherie - glad it wasn't just me who read it wrong. Still, if the customer doesn't see a problem then there's no problem and after all, they do say that true love is blind !Jim in Mexico

Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?Your list is a good one. Tension and feed rate are imperative for me, and like you said---the less major grain differential the better.

Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?by Jim McDonaldI have used some spirals on portrait style cuttings and while I don't hate them, I find my concentration level goes way up with them. If I am thinking 1/8" ahead with a flat blade, my interest seems to be about 1/32" with spirals.
Also, I am not a fan of the jagged edges inside the...-
