Hi Dean;

Thanks for taking the time to sketch up the details and upload them - Your drawing is very clear. I think I might also take the tool route as opposed to the "burning ember" scenario, however . . . :)

Any dimensions that you might have in the air-splitter area would be helpful, as to what produces decent air flow. I don't know about the thumb & palm spacing employed by early Americans, I might determine that using an early American Indian invention known as the "hand-held calculator" . . . ;-)

Again, your interpretation of the craft is inspiring, I HAVE to make one (or two, perhaps three). See what you did?

Ready to begin carving, Spidey

P.S. I'll search for the artists on the net.
