        For them that make bows, arrows, or any other thing of wood, they must get to know sanding…

        I’ve had a few sanding blocks in my time, purchased from lumber stores with great enthusiasm.  The enthusiasm generally wanes when I find I have to cut the sand paper to fit the block, or when the clips that hold the block fail, or by finding out I just don’t like how it feels in my hand.

        So I made my own out of some scrap wood and it has worked really well.  Once I got the kinks worked out,  I made a few extra so I wouldn’t have to switch paper to change grits.  The cost was right too.

        Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to attach a pdf doc to this message, so I just uploaded it as a jpeg.  it may have lost resolution or dimensional stability in the transfer.  Hope you find it handy 🙂

            Mr Graf

            Nice simple design. I think I will make a couple for my own use.

            You should make them out of Osage, hickory or port Oxford cedar / Norway spruce etc and sell them to people who make there own bows and arrows.  I started writing  this as a joke , but on reflection I bet they would sell – haha.

            PS – I get 15% for the idea — lol
