After wood had been steamed.We using rotary cutting machine make wood into slice for ice cream stick or spatula.A blade with an easily and economically maintainable cutting edge for cutting vegetation in a rotary cutting machine such as in a lawnmower or brush cutter is described. A blade assembly is comprised of an elongated blade with replaceable inserts that enhance the cutting and mulching functions of the rotary cutting machine. The replaceable inserts are installed at a skew angle and provide an easily maintainable cutting edge that has geometrically shaped fingers that provide both a chopping and a slicing action that enhances the cutting performance of the blade assembly. Mulching blades re-cut the vegetation severed by the shaped fingers into smaller pieces before the vegetation exits the rotary cutting machine to minimize or eliminate the need to pick up the cut vegetation while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing final cut. Each replaceable insert has a safety connector that prevents the dislodging of the replaceable insert from the blade assembly during operation in the event that fasteners fail during operation. An integral blade is also anticipated that has geometrically shaped fingers installed at a skew angle that provide both a chopping and a slicing action.
