ISUBARUI Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Posted July 7, 2004 Here are two more pictures. The bearing on my bit broke so i could not follow any templates so i had to route all the cavities by hand. Thanks for the tips hyunsu, I have only been using sandpaper on the neck so far to carve it so ill keep doing that. Quote
