Hickory Board Buildalong
Newbowyer:
Maybe I will do that. I will try to get pics up of rest of board. I might cut it out and draw dimensions out.
I am aiming for 40# @27". I think I am going to cut it down to 1.5 inches from 1.75. I am goingt to have the fades start 14 inches from tips. Should I have them go down to 3/8 in width and 1/4 in height? I think I will do a stiff handle as well. 64 NTN.
I really appreciate the help! Thanks
DanaM:
At only 40# I think linen or silk will be more than enuf to keep any splinters down.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I think, it will work without backing. A silk- or linenbacking will make it totaly safe!

I don't like any imperfections on my boards. I'd return it. Jawge

Also, the grain pattern on that board on the face seems to be all over the place. Take it back and look for a straight grained board is my advice. Also look at the edge gain. There's a picture of a almost perfect board on my site. Jawge
