Anonymous6 March 2013 at 12:39 am #8840Well, you’re still the fastest I’ve ever seen at finding stuff. I can’t remember what day it is. 😉
The last two sets I’ve made were just extruded angle aluminum cut to length. Paint one set of tips a dark color, rattle-can spray paint is fine. Â Â Hardly qualifies as a “project”. Â The stuff that looks like this:

Otherwise just get your hands on some stable hardwood, quartersawn if possible but rift or flatsawn will be fine, plane it flat maybe 1/2″ thick then parallel the two edges on each piece and then put a wide chamfer along what will be the top edge. Paint the tips of one a contrasting color or inlay a contrasting wood.
I haven’t used my wooden ones in a couple of years since making the aluminum ones. The wooden ones are probably a bit wonky now and need tuning.
