INSTRUCTIONS

Stack the 3/4"-thick oak, the 3/8" backing plywood, and the l/4"-thick background oak or oak ply. Temporarily secure the pieces togelher using double-sided tape.

Draw a 6"-Dia. circle in the center of the wood [a coffee can is a handy tracing guide), and cut along the traced line.

Change to a fresh, sharp blade to cut along the inner traced line. Enter with the grain for 1his cut. Go slowly to avoid blade flexion, and back up now and then fo allow Tor dust removal and blade reorientation. Try to avoid burning, because it is somewhat difficult to sand the inside of the rim. Once finished, handle the outer rim very carefully so it doesn't snap in half.

Sand the outer edges of the wood stack. Draw a circle 1 /4" inside the edge of the circle just cut.
