Had to use blade bacwards

[Old Dust]

This order required me to use the blade backwards because the sign was to long for my table depth. The first letter "C" and some of the tail of the chick demanded this change. Glad I read about this in an old Spielman news letter.

NICE ! I must remeber that tip, would using a spirle blade work instead of using the blade backwards?

[Old Dust]

Spiral would work but it has a tendency to follow the grain and with the 1/2" thick cedar I didn't want to chance it.
I use spiral on portraits with plywood.

I love that sign! Would you mind if I plagiarised it?

Cutting backwards can be quite a challenge if you forget that the blade bias is reversed !
