shaneymack Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Kev, grain looks phenomenal. I see you chose the grain to fit a butt just perfectly. At least my butt feels invited... Sent from my XP7700 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Test it for fit and comfort then carve until you are happy. Might want to get input from the Mrs......Looking very good ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yea, still lots of work to do there for sure! For those taking on this project, it's not too difficult. The discs that Marc suggested really hog out the material pretty quick! It also made less of a mess than I anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yet a lot more power carving and sanding. Wanted the pommel a bit more defined and even things out a bit. Still not sure I'm happy with the pommel but, I'll look at it for a while before I decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I guess i need to put those on my list before i start this. There doesnt seem to be a happy medium in rasps. Cheap ones and very expensive ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
