Ask throwing Timber how long it takes me to make one
all I do is take a blank, drill it out.. turn it to shape. all the shape is is a cylinder with a nice tapered tail and a slight taper in teh nose. Then I go to the bamd saw and do the mouth cuts, which makes it look like a "V has been taken out of the front. Then I do another cut on the upper lip to remove 'some of the head'. From there its all beltsanding. The key is to rock it on the belt... if you stay too long you'll get a flat spot.
Rattboy- yes i know. I got some softer wire and all is good now.
