I have trouble when cutting 3/4 inch wood.

Therefore, when I turn the work over, the design isn't as nice as the top. I'm using a Craftsman 16'. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Old wooden plates.

by Eugene Downes

Over the years I've found that cutting old wooden plates can be very rewarding. Most of them are very good wood and when you finish your cut out the plate already has a nice finish on it.. I normally buy mine at yard sales or Good Will whenever I can find them....

I've found in the past that you can find some very nice wood from old wooden plates. When you finish your cut out the wood already has a nice finish. I am only adding a picture of 6 but I have done many of these....
