Bread Knives!

[mmayo]

I sold two Zebrawood and one African mahogany at last weekend's show so more had to be made. Every Zebrawood I make sells first. Be sure to buy Oliver blades directly from Oliver. If you eat sliced bread - they make the blades that sliced it! Superb sharp and pretty.

PS - be extra careful routing these !!!

I would have to make a corresponding template/jig for that to sit against to route it. Perhaps even sit in and under an edge for a pattern bit in the router. I'd be too scared to be that close to the bit. (know two people without fingers from routers)

either way, very gorgeous work

Zebra wood has eye-catching grain and contrasting colors. Those bread knives would be on the cutting edge.

I trace the template with a pencil. I then use a 10" bandsaw with a narrow blade to cut along the line. After that I use an inexpensive spindle sander from HF to smooth the edges. I use a router to round over the edges. That is the most dangerous part as I am free routing on my router table. Just THINK during the entire process and you'll be ok. I then machine sand with a 1/4 sheet sander and I'm ready to finish. I hate pattern routing!

I've done some free routing for edges of various projects but never anything that thin. I do focus only on that when doing it

Of course there is a bearing when I route.
