Yes. I’ll be barrel tapering them using the shooting board and plane. Might get too narrow for that jig but I could make another one.

somewhere on this site is pics of a taper jig made from 2 pieces of angle iron set alongst each other. not quite parrellel but in a wedge that constitutes the taper. sandpaper is fixed to the surface somehow. I think Pat B posted it

That's going to be an interesting piece of wood to work on, should be unique if it works out. Looking forward to seeing it as you move along. :)

Got my rack repair back from my buddy, looks great, he done a great job matching it, usually wouldn't repair a broke tine but this was a special year and since i had pictures of him before it was broke I decided to have it fixed, glad I did. Then spent some alone time around the fire with just the girls and a beautiful sun set, been a tough couple of week but guess that's how life goes sometimes. ;) Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :)

Hope that is how this goes BJ. Had a good weekend, limped around a lot but no falls and got some stuff done in the shop, lots of friends over so a good time around the fire also. Spent most of my time working on knives, Shawn was working on a hide and some Osage billets.Got my 2 blades ready to heat treat and temper.  :)
