A pattern was then required. In the past I swore I would in future only use hardwood for pattern making, so it was off to the garage to select the hard wood. I found every size possible that I didn't want, and came away with a piece of old pine, and realized I was in for a struggle. I milled out the rough shape, sanded and shellaced the pattern, unfortunately this raised the grain, and required several more treatments.
Next I went on the net to view pics. of the stop, and discovered the item was tapered from top to bottom viewed from the front. Back to the mill to apply taper to the pattern.
