I can see that… I am in awwwe of how you shape it. The Bloodcell is currently my favourite wood SW that I have thrown to date. Primarily because it is so comfortable in the hand and catch. That is also what I really like about the RBC.
I agree with this. I have a Survivalist, KNack and Bloodcell with 6-hole responses. Both the 4 and 6-holes work well, but the 6-hole is smoother on the response. It is my preference of the two.
Currently it’s about 45 minutes for this face. I’d like to mill the other side, and that’s probably tonight’s project. I’ve got the file ready to go. This wood is curly maple
Yeah, the ball nose bit helps as well as the roughing + climb-cut finishing passes. It’s also not super fast (45 minutes for this face). I’m erring on the slow side for a better finish.
