Covering compound curves
Much as I like carving wing tips and cowls, I dread the idea of covering them. Usually, I start with a piece with nice and smooth curves, and I end up after covering with a thing covered with warts and wrinkles.[:'(]
I have just about finished carving a cowl for a Sig Something Extra shown in the pic. Note that still needs a final sanding. I am determined to do better this time with the covering.
The idea is to have a two-color scheme. Something like white-red-white. What is the best way to do it? Start from the narrow end (top in the picture) and work my way down or the other way around?
Any tip is appreciated.
