angel. (A No. 5R blade can be used when cutting larger versions of the angel.)

Finishing

Step 3. If you have used the packing tape, simply peel the tape and pattern off the wood. Otherwise, remove fhe pattern using your method of choice. Use o disc or belt sander to sand the front and back of the wood. Use a 1 /4 sheet of 220-grit sandpaper to remove any remaining burrs and to lightly round the edges, giving the piece a more finished look.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cutting

Sfep 1. Photocopy the pattern, saving the original for future use. I recommend adhering a layer of clear packing tape to the wood prior to applying the pattern to it. The tape reduces fhe burn from the tight turns you will have to make during culling, and it makes the piece easier to handle. Attach the pattern to fhe tape using spray adhesive.

Sfep 2. Drill fhe guide holes. To reduce chipping on the bottom of the wood and to handle fhe delicate detail cuts. I recommend using a No. 2R blade to cut out fhe

Sfep 4. Use a clean paintbrush or tool of choice to clean the angel. Tinish by applying a thin oil, such as tung or walnut oil, fo seal the inner edges. Let dry.

Display Options

Step 5. When displaying the angel as an ornament or sun catcher, l usually use thin, clear fishing line for a hanger. However, silver or gold thread would work well. too. insert the fishing line or thread through one of the fret holes near the top, giving the angel the correct vertical orientation. An alternative display option is to cut fhe angel from thicker wood and mount it to a base.
