Started on this little gem yesterday from a natural fork, while working on another project. Rain all day today, but luckily my awesome wife took pity letting me finish the final sanding inside

Two coats of Howard's Feed-N-Wax and a little buff. Pictured with a Victorinox Super Tinker for size reference..

Stay safe and have a blast!

Thanks, Guys. It was a fun build. Realized pretty quick I need a new saw before I cut another fork like that

Thanks, skarrd.

Hmmm a PVC conus? 4 layers of 1/2 inch should do it.

Do it Mike! Don't think you would need 4 layers, 3 would probably work.

Here is a pic of my very first Conus build back when I was learning. I nicknamed it Training Wheels as it is what I was shooting while Arturo was teaching me to shoot. It is made of 1/4" layers of Red Cypress that I got from a work friend many years ago. Not a very dense wood but layered it was plenty strong enough.

The picture isn't a can cut as I could barely hit it in those early days of PFS shooting.

Just be sure to mix in the JuJu and MoJo! And keep it cool when shaping. Plastic melts with too much friction.

New saw Mike(?), or can that one be sharpened ?
There are lots of great YouTube videos on how to sharpen saws.

If you wind up getting a new one, don't scrap the old one, as you can make some fantastic card scrapers out of that thin, spring steel blade....again, check YouTube for how to on that as well.
