Drilling

Drill a l/16"-Dia. hole (or smaller on some cutouts) in all areas to be cut out. Make all internal cuts before making the outside cut, as this will give a much more stable piece of wood with which to work.

Sanding and assembly

Using fine- to extra-fine-grit sandpaper, gently sand the surface and any edges that may need it. (Reverse tooth or crown tooth blades would reduce the amount of sanding needed in the cutouts.) Finish the project with clear polyurethane.

A suggestion for hanging feathers: drill a hole from side to side (or front to back if wood is too thin) and hang with a strip of leather.

INSTRUCTIONS

Affixing pattern and cutting wood

Cut out the full-size pattern piece provided. Affix pattern to wood by applying a light coat of fine mist spray glue to the back of your patterns. DO NOT SPRAY THE GLUE ON THE WOOD. Wait 5 to 10 seconds for the glue to gain a stickiness like tape. If it is too sticky, Ihe pattern will be hard to remove after cutting; if it is not sticky enough, the pattern might start to come off during cutting.
