These pairs of winding sticks are made of tigerwood, leftover pieces from a previous hardwood flooring project.
Inlay strips: maple, purpleheart, yellowheart (? – the name escapes me) and walnut.
I used a plow plane to cut the grooves for the inlay strips and a skew rabbet plane to bevel the faces (one pair with a 5-degree fence and the other a 10-degree fence).
Finish: Four diluted coats of boiled linseed oil
Other shop photos:
The plow plane’s stop did a great job in keeping the grooves to the desired depth—consistently
I made the bottom wider and the top shorter for stability
The interlocked grain was best dealt with by a card scraper
Unbelievable precision and accuracy can be achieved with hand tools (assuming the digital caliper was accurate)
A personalized shop aid ready to be used
