I have just finished a earing holder for our DIL's birthday and thought I would share it with you. This was my first attempt at compound cutting.
Thanks for looking
Paul

Nice I like the way you raised the scroll work.

G'day Paul,
I've been thinking about making one of those for ages. Some good ideas there.

Great looking piece and a great gift.

Nice cutting, and it looks beautifully finished as well. as for compound cutting...to me a compound cut is something scrolled on one side, then the workpiece is rotated 90 degrees and cut on the other side. I dont have a link handy to show you what I mean, but they are sometimes referred to as 3-D cutting. Either way, your DIl is going to be one happy girl! Dale

OPaul - that is very nice - I also liked the way you raised the scroll work, tapering the cut you could of gone either way - raised or lowered it. Good job.

Thanks for all of the good comments, Dale I might have the name wrong the center of the top was cut out my tilting the saw bed by 2.5 degrees.

Old Paul that is called Relief cutting, but whatever it's name, it came out sweeeet.
She will be happy to have a cool place to hang her earrings.

Whatever it is called, you did a nice job on it. It will certainly be a well recieved gift.
