Well, finally I made it! Never had them before, but decided to make as a fun project. I used Bloodwood (Satin is another name). Never worked with this wood before, and what can I say.. The color of the wood is great, but it is very difficult to work with – hard and very fragile… exotic in other words. Inlay made from maple, not veneer; I had to watch my nails when squaring with the shooting board)))
Thank you guys,it’s just winding sticks I have to concentrate more on Paul’s projects, his knife wall technic really help with the inlay, make 3 sides first and last one try to make knife mark almost under block of maple, results no gaps and everything tight.Thanks Paul.
Do you wanna miss all the fun of making them Mr. Steve Follis? 😉
My winding sticks are 22″ long by 2″ high, 5/8″ at the bottom and 3/8″ at the top. Size of the top inlay is 1/4″ by 2 1/2″ and 3/16 ” thick . Sorry for the late answer, went to my lumber shop today.
