Thanks to Jim Kirkpatrick for reminding me to see an old issue of Woodworking magazine where Jameel Abrahams wrote an article on Condor Tails. You may have seen my post asking to see everyone's work benches, Jim replied with the issue I needed to see for the technique. This is my first attempt about an hour after reading the article. This is just practice so I used my junk 1/4" chisel and still had good results. I think I'll go for it on the Bubinga & maple as soon as I prep the material. Thanks again Jim and a big thanks once again to Jameel, he has inspired me in inlays, segmented turning and now Condor tails. I can't say how much I appreciate those that share their methods and skills with us.
