9 Sketch the lines for the bill. We measured
3/8”
on both sides of the centerline. Lea
v
e plenty
of wood to allow for the reduction of the bill dur-
ing a later step.
10 Use a soft lead pencil to sketch a cheek
pouc
h. Use the pattern for a reference.
7 Place the head back into the block that was
saved in Step 2. This block allows the head to
remain “square.” Drill a hole at the center point.
Use a 1/8” drill bit and drill a hole approximately
1
1
⁄4” deep. It is best to use a drill press (if you have
one) for this step.
8 Insert a 1/8” dowel into the hole in the head
and then into the hole in the body. Rotate the head
to the direction you want. Draw a line around the
body where the neck will join the body. This line is
a general guide. Do not cut into this line until later.
5 Draw a centerline around the entire head
using a soft lead pencil.
6 Measure the line on the bottom of the neck
and mark the mid-point.
