BruceCarvesWax Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well thats a better size! Love the first and last one, not bad for the time you have put in. I dont think I have ever seen one like the first one, it looks cool. I might have to buy that book, maybe I can learn something.....

BruceThank you BruceYou won't find the first one or the christmas tree in the book. Those two were mine. The other two are from the book though.Any tips on the upwards cuts? I've tried the angel once, but I just can't get those to look right. Do those just take more practice or am I missing something. It's kinda hard trying to learn this from a book.

Do those just take more practice or am I missing something. It's kinda hard trying to learn this from a book. The angel is about the only thing that I do up cuts on and they are not fast cuts. You have to go slow and take your time since you cut from a wide area to a narrow one. Not as easy as going the other direction, thats for sure.
