Woodenspoke Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I agree. NOTHING is a substitute for a good plane!!!! I can't stress that enough. Pilgrim's Projects has all the ibex sizes you'll ever need for a great deal. That's where I've gotten mine. I don't know what I'd do without my round bottom "violin/cello" planes?!!??!

DRAKO Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I know you already said you’re going topographical on it, but I’m plus one for the angle grinder. It’s the simplest method I’ve heard of. Metalhead28 was kind enough to talk me through the particulars, and I was very surprised at how easy it was to get a great carve. You may want to take a look at a few of the builds he’s posted. They sold the idea for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Foreigner Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I suspect the carve around my horns is too tight for the angle grinder approach. plus it worked for me doing the topography and planing from there, so I don't want to mess with a streak.
