I know this isn't the usual place to post a partial or whole build...BUT WE show what we cut and I think it's just as appropriate to show how or what is built with lumber cut shown here. I tried to find the post BUT evidently it's one of a few I didn't create.
ANYWAY....these are tulip poplar 8/4 slabs that I sawed, AD, then KD (with Darens Plans). This is a quickie...ALL I'm to do is shape and sand to 120 grit. I just wanted people to see how much it changes the looks and what can be done with the fletches.
It's a simple creation...nip the corners with a saw and see how creative you are with a 9" disc sander. I'm Blessed that I can make the large sander flow and round up the corners and make the soft edges....then do a final softening/sanding with a palm sander. I started out with 36 grit, raised the grain, then 120 (I know a large jump, but the wood barely aloud for it) , raised the grain again, then changed to palm sander with 120 grit, raised the grain again and the done a final 120 grit sanding.
