I had to put a small rubber band under it to hold it steady for the pic.

Paul,
That's gorgeous you should give it to Mom.

How did you shape the blade?

Paul,
Now that is a piece of craftsmanship. Give it to Mom now.

That is a very nice job! Your mom will be proud. I'm also curious what the finish is?

Very well done, so delicate looking!
We are on to something here.

Chuck I used a variety of sanders, a free standing belt/disc combo, a homemade pad on the lathe, and a hand held pnuematic I use for fine tuning stuff.
Roundwood no finish just sanded and buffed.
Ken not near as delicate as it looks.
Thanks for all the kind words
