What to do and what not to do. This is pink ivory. Something tells me it's not made for scrolling. It's very dense and will dull a blade in very little time.
Notice the piece on the left - all burnt up. I only used 5 blades on this piece. :kamahlitu
Now notice the piece on the right - very few burn marks. I used two entire packages of blades.
Now, just because the blade won't cut the pink ivory anymore, doesn't mean it can't be used on softer hardwoods and pine.
:gar-Bi
Something many of you are probably familiar with, all in a weekend:
After playing with the pink ivory, the black walnut seemed quite easy and get this - only two blades on the entire piece.
Remind me to thank Ray again for selling me that saw. Unbelievable the difference a saw makes sometimes. Nothing like that quick blade change from the topside for those inside cuts. Don't ask, I didn't count them.
