1Wally 204 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) To be honest mate if you aren't altering the shape then the Dremel won't save you much time. They still need to be sanded by hand. Ill be finishing these three alder forks when i get time at the weekend. I have a load of oak forks too drying out at minute.

LurcherLad94 2,582 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 looking good mate,the groves at the top that the bands tie into do you do them all the way around the fork? pain to get to get the same all the way around and if i slip with the knife and take a chip out makes them look shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Wally 204 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) You don't need to go all the way round mate I generally put a shallow groove front and back so it can be banded either way round if its gonna have heavy hunting bands on. If its for plinking or a tiny BB shooter you don't even need to put in grooves. Unless they are there to look good. Edited January 14, 2015 by 1Wally Quote Link to post Share on other sites
