Step 2
With one end piece marked with the half circle use your coping saw to
cut it out. Remember to stay to the outside of your line rather than
trying to cut right on the line. It’s easier to go back and sand extra wood
back to the line than to accidentally cut inside the line and leave a dip in
the wood.
Once the end is cut out use your sanding block to shape the curve back
to the line and to smooth any rough edges out.
Now that you have one end piece completed use it as your pattern for
the other end piece. Just trace it onto the uncut end and shape it as you
did the first piece. Even though you’re not using your home made
compass to draw the curve on the second piece, you still need to find the
center and place a mark to show this.
