If you cut all seven layers you will have a substantial piece of art at 1.75" thick. The pattern comes in two sizes. The large pattern is 8" wide and the small pattern is 6" wide. Yes, I know that this pattern will take a lot of wood but I believe plywood will work fine for this project.
If this inspires you to buy your own yacht then check out this link. They range from $1.5 million up to about $28 million. https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts-for-sale/sailing-yachts. I sure wish this were one of my affiliate links. 7% of $28 million is almost $2 million dollars. I could make do with that.⛵
There are seven layers but you can choose the ones you want to use. The piece below is only two of the layers.
Dust collection is important even in a small woodworking shop.
Woodworking can be messy and hazardous if you don't take precautions. Almost every power woodworking tool creates dust.
A few years ago I learned a good lesson. I was building a desk out of exotic wood, bubinga. The desk build took a few days and I did not use any dust collection or dust mask. I ended up being allergic to that species of wood and I spent about a week with a sore throat, congestion, and itching. I had a bubinga splinter in my hand and it turned red and hurt like crazy. I recovered from those symptoms but who knows what that did to my lungs.
I knew at that point that I needed better dust collection and protection. I purchased a small Jet dust collector, a WEN air filtration system, and two styles of dust masks. I still use all of them today.
I can't find the Jet dust collector I purchased online now but it is similar to this WEN unit. I use this on all my major dust-producing tools., table saw, planer, band saw, and router table. This greatly reduces the dust at the tool and helps keep some of the dust out of the air. It absolutely helps keep my shop cleaner.
I don't use this dust collector with the smaller tools. I use shop vacs on my scroll saws and sanding tools.
It is very important to remove the small dust that hangs in the air. That is the dust that ends up in your lungs and causes so many health problems. I use the WEN air filtration system mounted to my ceiling. I don't own an air quality meter so I can't give you facts about how well this works but I can say this. When I run this unit I see much less fine dust on top of my tools. It comes with a remote and other than cleaning/replacing filters it has needed no maintenance.
When I have a job that will produce lots of dust I wear this respirator. When I empty the shop vac or dust collector this is what I use. It has built-in filters and is reasonably comfortable for short tern use. I would not want to wear it for longer than several minutes.
When I am cutting at the scroll saw I need a more comfortable mask similar to the one below. I have purchased several type and brands and for the most part, they have all been fine.
