Back side of Prop - I worked nice and slow and re-inked the marks and outlines as they got sanded off. I didn't make any big mistakes - it seems to be shaping up nicely so far.

2nd Stage Progress - 2 hours later - I counted the sanding and filing strokes, say 12 strokes, then I flipped the prop and counted 12 strokes for the other side - it becomes second nature to do that and it really helps to keep things even.

Front Side - progress after 1 hour. I got reacquainted with my various size sanding blocks (with fresh sandpaper), flat files, round files, jeweller's file, and sandpaper around a 1 1/2" diam tube and a 5/8" dowel.

I woke up early this AM, just itching to get at that "practise" prop, but ran "Trapper" first to the seasonal wetlands, fields, bushes, and forests near the railroad tracks and rail spur. There must have been about 20 species of songbirds all singing their hearts out, echoing over each other, like a clamour, through the woods - when all of a sudden, I heard a bugleing, rattling croak, like those flying monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz" movie, and looked up to see 2 brown Sandhill Cranes soaring by pretty low, and not flapping their outstretched 6'8" wings, heading SW to the marshes at Point Pelee Nat'l Park or Hillman Marsh or Big Creek Mash.

Prop outline is sanded smooth and a bit proud.

Lots of perpendicular side cuts to the prop outlines.

Since "Discretion is the better part of valour", I thought it would be prudent to carve up a practise prop block, to monkey around with and see how it shapes up first, and learn from those mistakes, instead of wrecking my good laminated prop block right away.
