10-4 guys. Didn't think of that aspect.
Here is last nights work:

Tried again last night. Used a different type of wood. Not sure what kind it is, but it was scrap that my dad got for kindling wood by taking apart a few crates where he works.
I went to a smaller chisel and boy what a difference that made. I didn't have to use a hammer or anything. Still working out making straighter lines and such, but I got the sides to look a heck of a lot better than the first try. My belt sander blew the belt off last night so I didn't get as nice of top curve and did not have time to put a new one one. Not that I know how anyway. LOL
At least I made some progress. This is pretty cool.
Does anyone have any good reference material, besides this forum obviously RkLu. I joined a few call making forums as reference by a few member here. I was told to check out the Cost books as well, or maybe the dvd.
I need to learn what way the grain of the wood should be going and such for when I get these motions down, and try my first real attempt.
Where do you guys go for wood? I saw a ton of items on ebay and such but would rather buy a bit longer wood, to try and keep the costs down.
