Next, we’ll turn the tail down to .6 inches. Again, you’ll taper this to the center point. At this point, the blank should be close to the final specs (.8 at front, 1.1 center, and .6 inches at the tail). When tapering the front and tail, you can take just the very ends down to the specified dimension, then turn the rest. Alternatively, you can slowly take the whole section down at one time. To make sure everything is even, I’ll use a sanding block to do the rough sanding. Using the block insures that the tapers are even.
