All The Sixty Degree Cuts


Still have to cut in the 90° pass and then do a border.

While burning the wood I was learning on was both spiritually satisfying and cathartic, I wish I had some to take pictures of now.

The most important lesson learned is how to fix a slipped line.  What comes with that is knowing that sharpening the diamonds erases evidence of the slip!

Another confidence booster is looking at a couple of middle-high end guns.  The people doing the checkering on those are human and I can see both their skill and spot some mistakes they covered with their skill.

I'm learning and it feels GOOD!

And once again, if you find yourself saying, "I want to checker stocks!" get the Gunline brand not Master Carver.  The quality difference is evident almost immediately.
