Cottage Clock-Cutting the Crest Outline
....continuing around the outside...
| A spiral, a point, and another spiral. I cut these out just like the interior cuts. |

|
Another curly point. Nothing new here. |
| Since we usually have a bit more waste to play with on the outline, I may modify my relief cut technique. After cutting to the tip of the point like normal, I'll make a wide, sweeping cut and end up at the point aligned with the other side. I didn't quite make it on this one, but it was close enough to go ahead and finish the point. |

We've made it to the top--half way around the top of the crest and starting down the other side! |
| Another point, and another spiral. |

We're about half way done--see you on the next page!
