Yeah, Kevin the top of my head is ugly enough so that part doesn't matter. At least my face was spared.  ;D

That one turned out well.  Looks like you got the tips flipped just fine.  Good luck with your surgery!

I finished up my last one for awhile,due to getting a minor hand surgery. I decided to try flipping the tips for the 1st time. Heated out 1 small hump in the upper limb, and evened up both limbs to be straight. ( No reflex). 66” ntn, 46#@ 28”. 1-1/2” wide at fades, tapering to 1” wide 7” from tips, the tapering to 3/8” tips.

Steve would 69” be long enough? It’s 2-3/8 wide at fades.

I would say yes, In the past I have always made them too narrow and a bit shorter. Very fast wood. I think your dimensions should be ideal.

As far as a cracked squash goes, its looking pretty good Pat. Its frightening to realize how quickly things can go bad, and thankfully, this doesnt seem like its gonna hurt your looks much.
