30” wavy flag for customer

Thanks, i tried to make something a little different than all the pine/stained ones, i try to be a more high-end woodworker, my stuff isn’t cheap, but it looks nice :slight_smile:

This is walnut and ash. Debated about doing the stars in maple, i might do a maple/walnut one yet. I have a lot of ash/walnut at moment and that’s what people are asking for at the moment after seeing it.

The waves are a F360 model. Stars etc are all proportioned to the US standard, i found the models you can get on etsy etc are not correct on the sizes, so i had to just do all that myself.

The simple process is:

  1. cut slabs into manageable sizes
  2. plane slab chunks down to desired thickness/remove defects
  3. cut strips to size, marked to reassemble grain patterns later
  4. run strips on jointer if needed, but my table saw is accurate enough i don’t need to do this
  5. glue bottom 6 stripes together
  6. glue top 7 stripes together
  7. cut out walnut piece for stars
  8. CNC cut out female stars in walnut
  9. CNC cut out male stars in ash
  10. plane male star ash (backside)
  11. hand plane male star ash (backside) to release stars
  12. hand assemble stars into female walnut piece, arrange grains
  13. assemble the stars/walnut, top and bottom stripes
  14. final sizing and remove defects
  15. 3d rough and finish cuts on CNC
  16. hand sand/machine sand
  17. final coating, i use Rubio

Something like that :slight_smile:
