Heelcap awaiting to be chiseled to shape.
Heelcap faceted in stages.
Final shape achieved and scraped smooth. You can see the 3 tools I use for shaping, sitting on the bench vise: 1" chisel (wooden handle), a razor blade (red handle) and a steel scraper (under the razor blade).
Spanish Cedar is enjoyable to work on and gives a sweet aroma to the studio :)
