I’m gonna make the fin a little slimmer than it is currently, but the general shape works for me.
It’s currently made from SPF from home depot, but I’m debating making them out of more oak dowels, but that’ll be SO MUCH more work to carve out
Just spent 5 minutes using the proper tools, got the other two roughed out, as opposed to the 30-45 minutes it took with the box cutter
I see the banana for scale, thanks. Also, how old is your kid and how worried are you about the pointy end going into someone’s end? I know few kids that never throw things but my youngest is a thrower, and I would add a nerf dart-like tip to the rocket.
He’s 2, but I’m going to significantly round the tip, it’s just pointy for ease of initial shaping
I mean it looks great. Any thoughts about colors?
Most likely I’ll leave it bare wood or rub it with a 50/50 beeswax/mineral oil mix i made
It’s inevitably going to be chewed on, so gotta keep that in mind
