Now, got to find the centerline.  We are about 12-15 hours into this. I am moving at turdle speed.  And I have trouble really reading the grain as the pictures can show with all the lines

 

bigcountry:
Ok, found the centerline, I hope, and starting to lay out the design.  I have a 4" handle, 1 3/4 fade, and stay 1 3/4" for 11" before pyamid out to 3/8" tips.  Overall length 67".

 

bigcountry:
Ok, its about 8PM second day, almost 13 hours into it.  Thanks goodness for the bandsaw.  He had me draw kniving until I think thought there was no way we could finish over the weeknd.

 

bigcountry:
Bandsaw the belly.  Made it so much easier with out all that extra wood.  Good news is I got an extra stave out of the bottom.

 

bigcountry:
Ok, getting into night on Friday Night and lets start rasping the handle with the nickolson 49
