Back to the workbench! (yippee!) First the layout, of course.
After cutting the overall shape on the band saw, I used my newly installed leg vise to start the final shaping. First using the spoke shave to get out the unevenness created by the bandsaw blade.
There was a nasty knot right in the middle of both sides, but my small scraper did a really nice job of cleaning it up.
After that it was on to the rasp. (Commentary: I discovered rasps when I made a handsaw in Mike Wenzloff’s class and I’ve found them incredibly useful.)
The final product prior to pencil line removal.
