Well, I mostly finished up my work board mold thingy.



And I started in thicknessing the sides. It's going a bit smoother than the back. Spent some more time working on blade geometry, and it seems to be doing pretty well. Working diagonally on the side plate seems to be the ticket. Am able to remove a fair amount without any big tear out, but it's still slow going.

I'm aiming for about .09" on the sides. I think that's about right for Bubinga. But that's a lot of wood to remove starting from .2". Just need to cultivate patience.
