Hey guys, I’m just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on what tools to use when creating the concave in the nose of the board during the shaping process. I have been using my power planer and a straight edge sureform. If there are better approaches I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, G
Using the paner is a good start.You can also make a wide sanding block with a curve to somewhat match the concave.Glue a sanding belt on it. .The hard thing is working the stringer down,a modelers plane helps. R.B.
yeah, like cleanlines said, also you can use the “convex” surform blade
OH-NO not you two again! (just kidding)Hey guys thanks. Actually Reverb I was thinking one of those convex surforms would work nicely for a difinitive outline on the concave. Thanks again. And Yo, can’t we all just get along?
Hey I like Reverb.I guess I have lots of time on my hands today.Thanks R.B.
finishing the stringer in a concave is easier with a convex spokeshave like one of these. Often used in wood shops for scooping out seats or canoe/kayak paddles… http://www.fine-tools.com/G303771.htm
