I am almost complete with my first shape and stoke on the outcome. Much of my success comes from these forums…one question that someone may be able to help… What is the best way to clean up end grain. I tried rasp which works fairly well. Any tips? Thanks all
Microplanes, or rough sandpaper. Microplanes on swallows, rough sandpaper on tips.
A sharp block or finger plane with short strokes. Blade adjusted to take very little off at a time. I use them to finish multi stringers at the rail.
