Time for rounding

The table parts are glued together. I found out that the way I cut the boards is called “CVG,” Clear Vertical Grain. Very strong and really good looking.

I flipped the tabletop over and attached a jig I made that would steer the scroll saw in a circle to cut out the finished form. Unfortunately, the saw didn’t turn the way I had expected. I found out that the way my jig was made, it wouldn’t work unless the center of the circle was lined up exactly to the leading edge of the saw blade. I could have changed everything, but didn’t think it worth the time to re-weld the parts in a new configuration and fuss with the whole mess. I drilled a hole in the end of the jig and poked a pencil in and drew a circle that I’ll follow freehand. Sandpaper will hide my mistakes (I hope).
