I'm not as pleased with the design I made as I thought I would be, but first tries are just that. Next one will have some fundamental changes. It's made of 13-layer high density birch plywood. Three sections glued. Going to be for my Beeman 1073.   Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 3:36 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Can't wait to see it finished! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 7:53 am walter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Nov 2010 Posts: 181 Location: towson md. way better than anything i could do! good work. _________________ modified 1377c. first gen.

Your choice of material hides the glue lines and avoids the cost of a stock blank that thick. I especially like the nearly vertical grip angle. Quote: I'm not as pleased with the design I made as I thought I would be It has nice lines, and I think it will grow on you as you get closer to being finished. Take lots of pictures and keep us posted. I'm going to guess a bandsaw was used for the basic profile - what did you use for the sculpting done so far? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 9:59 pm makenzie71 Member Joined: 05 Dec 2010 Posts: 36 Location: Lubbock Jig saw, some paddle bits, and a great big rasp.   Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:06 pm packrat Senior Member Joined: 16 Nov 2009 Posts: 882 Location: Out in the woods...Ellabell, GA. I've said it before, but I have to say it again....Guys that can take a rectangle-shaped piece of wood and make it look like that simply amaze me!! It just blows my mind how you're able to do that..my hat is off to you sir _________________ HEY !!

It's something I really enjoy doing, but I'm not as skilled as one would think. I know guys that can whittle stuff like this out with their teeth...I have to use sawzalls and paddle bits.   Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 5:06 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: a great big rasp. Lots of work on a piece that curvy - you're dedicated. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 5:34 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Thats pretty kool..will look dam sweet finished...
