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

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.
