This is going to be good. How wide are you making it?

Looking foward to the adventure  :o ;D

bootboy:
Ah yes, back on track. Before he takes the stage, here we see Birch, In make-up having his lines laid out for him. From center to tip, he tapers 1 1/4" to a half inch. 3 and a half feet. The taper begins about 13 1/2" from his tip. the last portion on Mr. Stave's grain was troublesome and hard to follow though was easy finished with a short ruler the straighten up the ends.
