More work on the cowl. Some smoothing and more shaping towards final shape, AND MAKING A HOLE. WHOOPS!! hahaha


I removed a lot of the inside excess with a ball mill, a round gouge, and believe it or not a pair of 6" Dykes. I was able to clip and pull chunks of wood out with the Dykes, and I was also very successful at making the hole in the top of the cowl with them. Jeez. it will fill easy enough.


I then smoothed the inside with a sanding drum, and the outside with a coarse then medium foam sanding block.


I should have glued a light ply nose ring to the front of the cowl. But I will true the front up tomorrow and the glue the ply ring onto the front.


All in all, I did not have to do much carving with a knife.
