Trying the Footed Route
BowEd:
Good topic Mike.Nothing wrong with walnut looks wise.I used the TBB book instructions to do mine.In all fairness the footed shaft serves more than looks.It'll put more weight forward on your shaft too.A good 50 grains many times.A desireable feature.Overall footing is usually a good 7" long without changing the spine any.So I usually use purple heart or even osage.I think Badger did a build-a-long somewhere once too.I think it can make the shaft a bit tougher up front too.
Have you gotten after those dogwoods yet?
TSA:
going to be very pretty ;)

Just wondered if you got tired of straightening them :) ;)

Mating taper in footers will be cut tomorrow if not too cold. Hopefully eyesight and steady hand will be up to the task. :(

Like Ed I used the TBB method of a saw kerf instead of a taper. I thought it worked great. Is there a reason you're not using that method?
Knoll:
Have not reviewed the TBB method.
