I started with a 3" pole did some splittin and got a plank about 1/4 thick of a inch by 1/1/4" then cut to shape the 2 parts, after that I cut notches so the 2 parts slide into each other, glued ,shaped, cut thumb, sanded sealed, shot ![Smiley :)](http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
We need more information on that 'cut thumb' stage... I've done 'rasp thumb' but I'm not sure if that's ok instead?
