Workers Of Wood

A friend of SWMBO has started baking bread, quite good at it I might add, so it was suggested that I make a bread bow as a birthday gift. The results are shown below. The oak was trim from a house built over 50 years ago. The finish was Buthcer block

Thanks for viewing.

nicely done Jon...

Very nice Jon.

Nice. Is the blade purpose made for that or repurposed?

Appreciate the feedback.

The blade is purpose made, I bought a small packet of them from an online company at kencraftcompny.com along with a pattern for the bow. The first one I made about 5 years ago is still performing very well per the owner.

I figured out a way to sharpen blades like that when they get dull. I glued sandpaper on wooden dowel and chucked it in a drill and ran it around the contours. 600 grit wet or dry does a pretty good job but you can go finer.
