These bird ornaments are fairly detailed. They will require a #3 or smaller blade to successfully cut. You might also need a set of miniature drill bits to make the interior holes. Print the patterns out and plan your cutting strategy before you begin.
Take your time and cheat on the lines a little if you are unsure of the cut. What I mean by cheating is if you see a piece that is too delicate for your cutting skill level just cut inside the line and give yourself more room.
I plan to cut these for a Christmas gift. I am going to cut the set and mount them in a shadow box so they can be displayed as art pieces. I will probably mount two to a box because they are large ornaments.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
