If you are like me your always looking for something to do with scraps,I never throw away piece of wood---unless it's smaller than this-
the blanks are 2.00mm thick,1 inch wide and 1 1/4 inch long
cutting the thumb cove
the blanks tapered to 1.50mm with a card scraper
I use a belt sander to shape them the way I like-
I finish up with a little palm plane-
dipped in BLO and bees wax-
if your a picker and have never tried a wooden pick - well they have a different tone and with each wood the tone is a little different and at ten bucks a pop you don't lose them the way you might lose a ninety cent plastic pick.
rounding off the sharp corners
