picked it up again

<< < (3/3)

Ranasp:
Minor update: tweaked it a bit with rasping off a bit of the belly and did my first try at floor tillering.  I have a lot more material to take off, it barely bent lol.  (It's been pouring here after a drought so I had to hide in my garage to work on it)

It does have a twist going through it, part of which is I need to even out the thickness, but I think once that's done I'll have to hear treat it and leverage it straight.  From what I read, Osage does well with any kind of her, but should be oiled if using a dry heat.  This stave is quite dry now, so should I stick with dry, or try steaming?
