7mm-08 Project #10


Ebony Tip Continued
In this post I will finish up the installation of the Ebony Tip
 The ebony tip is cut to length and the waste cut off it used to help in the layout of the front radius. A compass is set to create a guide line for filing/shaping.
 Here you can see the compass scribe line and a scribe line on the side for shaping. An angle will be cut between the two lines with the plane to start the shape for the front radius.  
 Here the angle has been cut. 
 From here additional small angles are cut until the shape is a faceted radius. 
Then the tip is sanded and smoothed to a final radius.

The tip will get more sanding during the finish sanding of the stock.
