Hi Everyone, here are a couple of special orders that were requested by a coworker. She was looking through some home interior books and asked if I could make her a couple of things out of wood instead of molded resin or plastic. She wanted them almost black but wanted the wood grain to show. She found a photo of a Corinthian Medallion that she wanted to see how close I could get at reproducing in out of wood and then she wanted me to design a three piece Wall Grille appoximatly 12" by 30" each piece with the center piece having a small shelf for the end wall of a hallway. Here is what I came up with and she was delighted. I used a Cabot ebony stain on red oak with a light laquer finish. The first photo is of the one in the book. The one that I made is 27" in diameter. Steve

Our scrolling SIG is discussing using spiral blades at our March 17th meeting. After past bad experiences with the spiral blade, I took the time to cut two different projects (below) with spirals using a combination of Pegas and Flying Dutchman.
