Each leaf should then be removed, turned on edge, and a wavy line should be sawn between the face and pencil marks (see Fig. 1). The individual directions will indicate how close to the pencil line each will be cut and at which angle the saw table should be set.

Leaf 1. With a No. 7 blade installed, set the saw table 10 degrees to the left, then cut up to halfway between the leaf face and the pencil line.

Leaf 2. With a No. 7 blade installed, set the saw table 7 degrees to the right and cut up to the pencil line.

Leaves 3, 4, 5, and 6. Set the saw table 1 degree to the right, install a No. 5 blade, and cut around the attached acorn following the directional arrows. Set the acorn aside for later use.
