Finished the kerfing on the first after planing the back to a taper. The tail is 4 1/8″ deep, tapering to 3 1/4″ at the heel.
Thicknessed and bent the sides on the second. Did a much better job planing the sides even and thinner. Helped a lot. I think the second set of maple is my best bending attempt so far.
