February 26, 201313 yr Made these from the link Mike posted. Some Maple and Walnut scraps. A couple of the ends are different due to production line engineering changes. Finished with mineral oil. Had a little difficulty getting some of them to open completely. Made the angled cuts on the "center side" of the lines. That seemed to have made them a little tight. Had to file/sand a little until they spread as shown. Also realized my scroll saw skills, for cutting straight lines, need some serious work. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

February 26, 201313 yr Lewis on my second one I switched to the largest blade I had and that helped a little in cutting separation line straight. I like your "Production Changes". It gives them some contour on the ends. Great workmanship.www.thepatriotwoodworker.com Proud Supporter of Homes For Our Troops

February 27, 201313 yr Author Thanks for the kind words, they are really appreciated.Mike, my poor little scroll saw doesn't have too many different blade options but maybe I can find some better blades than I have.John, I don't see why a band saw would not work. The kerf that splits the pieces might be a little wider but should still function.Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins!
February 27, 201313 yr Just a thought John but if you have a flush cut saw, that would work. I have a flush cut saw that cuts on the pull stroke and has a thin kerf.www.thepatriotwoodworker.com Proud Supporter of Homes For Our Troops
