In a message dated 97-12-19 16:35:43 EST, you write: << Then we insert what's called a draw-knife (used for chamfering the edges of beams and stuff). A rocking motion assisted by a rubber mallet reduces the rest of the job to about five minutes. If you can, bare the back edge of the cap with a scraper or something, to determine if the grain is true. This can help you choose which end to start from. >> Guy - While I don't have all the shop tools one could wish for, I happen to have a draw knife which I thought I had no use for! Thanks for the input! Bill Maxim
