G'day
I bought one of these blades from Jim Carrol at a WWW show about 3 years ago and had it sitting around in the shed while I thought about how I could use it .All the ones I have seen, have used a frame which looks like it was cut out of a flat bit of wood with a band saw then shaped with a spindle moulder . Eventually the penny dropped and I rearlised all I had to do was cut out the blank on the band saw, glue on a couple of cheeks to the handle and turn on two centres . The back part of the frame is turned first, then it is offset 10mm and the handle turned . The end is tidyied up by rounding over on a linisher .They are made out of offcuts of 'forest red" and cyprus flooring.
Hope you like.
