i was just admiring some of the cues in the FS section and was jsut wondering how these were made? laminated strips before turning them down? or use a bit to cut them in and then press in laminations before turning down? as you can see ive been tryin to figure it out cause thats the type of brain i have but i just cant figure it out lol thanks for any help
here's basic butterfly 101,
because that's all i know how to draw
and i'm just a basic kind of guy
for this example, this is two points on a forearm
the black is cut to a wedge
the blue gets glued onto each side
*i'd love to find some blue wood :rotflmao1:
the angle of the cut determines two things ,
1) the steeper the angle will make them wider
if not steep enough, then they look too thin like needles
2) the measurement at the spot on the black,
the width between the blues, determines where the butterflies will fall after it's turned to round
at my cutting angle, for every
10/1000ths turned off , the butterfly moves back approx.
100/1000ths
this isn't "splicing"
i guess you could call it "laminating"
that help?
i'm putting a couple 3 point forearms together right now
i'll try to get you a few real pics , not drawings
