Sanding and Planeing

Now that we have all the strips in the bottom we are sanding, scraping, and planeing it smooth. Felbie is using a card scraper here to get some dried glue off.
As you can see all the staples are gone!
And the bow is beginning to take shape... we still have to put the outer stem on, that will form the very tip.
We also went out to get a new toy.... er I mean tool... a spoke shave. It helps plane areas that the block plane can't reach.
The block plane in action... !

Felbie really makes this look like such a fun activity. Like c'mon up and join in! You really captured his smile. Aren't spoke shaves rounded for shaping actual round spokes?
