Here are a few more pics of the stave I posted about here:
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,30354.msg401653.html#msg401653I have used dry heat to correct some propeller twist out of it--one end has a little dogleg in it that I plan on leaving alone- the other end has a good knot out towards the end and a cluster of pin knots closer to mid limb. On the belly side of the pin knots there is a hole that may come out as I reduce the belly. My question is how would ya'll handle these knotty areas? the wood on the belly side of these areas is very hard...do I just file away at them with the farriers rasp or the nicholson?? Just wondering how to handle these hard areas that don't seem like they will bend very much if at all.
a not good pic of the whole thing
