Drawing1.jpgI have quite a few smallish branches which could probably produce up to 4- 8 pen blanks 18 - 20mm square (see image) . Branches have been cut to about 300 mm long.
I am thinking that my first cut would be to cut a flat corresponding to one side of the centre square with the second cut being an adjacent side of that square - most probably using the bandsaw.
I have the option to use a bandsaw or table saw, but my question is how to safely hold the branch.
I have 10 fingers now and want to ensure that I still have 10 when I am finished. This suggests to me that I should use a jig of some description to hold the branch and to ensure that the cuts are both parallel and perpendicular ( I hope that is clear).
Has anyone developed a jig for this purpose? or do you just cut it freehand?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
