My wife gave me a Christmas present early. she gave me a new Excalibur EX-21. the first project I cut on it was your Merry Christmas. This is a wonderful pattern. I have cut a second one this morning and will more than likely be cutting more in the following weeks. Thank you for such a great pattern. the sleigh is cut out of 3/4 mahogany and the base is pine. I am making a second one now with both being mahogany. thanks again for the wonderful job you do with these patterns.
Hey Geno, that is a nice Christmas gift. You are a lucky man to have such a great wife. She certainly knows how to pick out Christmas presents that's for sure. If you have time how about a short review on the Excalibur EX-21.
I'm happy you liked the pattern. Thanks for the kind words.
This shelf is 7 inches wide and 5 inches deep. I cut this pattern from walnut. You could optionally carve the grapes and vine or use a wood burner to bring out the details.
Those of you that have not used walnut should give it a try. It is one of my favorite woods to work with. Walnut cuts like butter and will hold nice detail. Walnut does have a tendency to burn if your blade is not nice and sharp. Cover the pattern with clear box tape to reduce the burning.
