Flipping the blade in the relief cut, we cut the next
line. This is part of the roof line, so I wanted to cut it
straight. Of course, this is the waviest cut of the hole:-)! |

Here we are, cutting another relief cut and making
another sliver. Then we cut around the curve.
One thing that helps is to visualize the fretwork
instead of concentrating on the hole. Imagine you're continuing the
cut through the fret into the next hole in line--you want the solid parts
to flow together--the branch that makes a sudden jag from hole-to-hole
looks unnatural. |

Another relief and another short cut and we're almost
done! I wanted to clean out the previous corner a little more, so I
turned the blade around and used the side to trim off a little as I re-cut
into the corner. I'm not sure if I really did anything useful here,
but I tried. |

Yet another relief cut, a turn, and a cut. I
decided I didn't like the way this was going, so I backed up and used the
blade to scrape the right side. |
|
I then continued to the base of the point, where we
made our "first" cut (if I had planned right, it really would
have been the first cut).
Easing up to the end, the blade brakes through and
the cut is finished. After these pictures I later went
back and sharpened the previous corner like I did the corner before that. |
