this was a 6.5" rootbeer cumberland that i blew the flute on. i had a great ridge developed on one side and the other was prepared but needed to be cleaned up. well the first flute only went 3"s. i put the piece aside. decided to not run the flute on the other side so i had to figure out away to remove the ridge and not lose a lot of width. i used indirect percussion and knocked the ridge off at an angle. using this method i was able to pretty much leave one side untouched and not lose much material. originally it was 1 3/8" wide and 6 1/2" long with a 2-1 ratio. finished it is just shy of 1 1/4" wide and 6" long with a 5/1 ratio. thats a lot of material removed and very little loss of edge. hopefully soon i can get a video up of the method im using. peace

first pic is the untouched side


side that i removed the ridge from
