Bloodwood/Oak Chevron Segmented Sierra

[mark james]

... Should Have gotten those new glasses months ago - Now I can see what I'm doing!!! :wink:

Self-crafted Inlays: Bloodwood and Oak. Maple spacers and Black veneer.

This is another proof of concept piece to go along with my previous Frank Lloyd Wright blank for a later theme.

Any suggestions and comments are welcomed!

Sure Chuck!

My new and improved spectacles allow me to to see down to microscopic level... This is what I see when I look at a certain homestead in Faith, South Dakota... A lot of nasty pollen...

To all the above kind comments! THANK YOU!

As I continue to improve with segmenting, It is a great boost to see the positive reaction. (I am very open to suggestions for improvement!!!).

And, to the IAP community, THANK YOU also; much of my skills were molded by your lessons!

Awesome job! What kind of jig do you use to get those segments so accurate?

Thank you Bryan!

I used a Byrnes thickness sander to get the strips to a uniform thickness. After the glue-up, a 45 degree sled on my table saw for uniform slices.

Try it!
