Blades (stage 3) Part 2

Here are a few more pictures of the blades in stage 3. The transfer of the pattern is temporary at this stage as the wood still has to be sanded. I transferred it to see how it looked.

1.) Pattern
2.) Front end (angled to show how it's planed) - the hole at the front there will be filled in. Dad put it in there to hold the two blades together whilst he shaped them to be pretty much identical.
3.) Front end (tip angle to show planing).

Unfortunately I can't show you a picture of what the engraving looks like literally. Readers will just have to trust me it's right. It's a little rough right now, but I'll make sure it looks good on the real thing.
