orca blank

[sparhawk]

this is a euro slimline with an orca blank from wood n whimsies. Thought it would have more black in it but turned out nice.Gift for a friend of my daughters. Still have problems getting the tenon right where it meets the center band. Making the edge right angle without any slope to the cut. Practice, practic

e ,practice.

Looks good to me! Great work. I've got the same blank and I can't decide what to do with it! []

looks good to me also. one thing you might consider is leaving that centerband off. i personally don't like the euro centerbands, but it works with this blank. nice shape also.

If you're having problems getting a square shoulder on your tenon, try undercutting it a bit (not much, just a little). You may wind up with a tiny interior gap (where nobody will ever see it) but the outside edge will be flush with the centerband.
