Step 6Cut the Outline
The right way to shape something is to keep the corners square as long as you can.
Otherwise it's really easy to make things lopsided.
First shape the thickness and width outlines before you do any other shaping.
I marked the outlines in pencil. Then I used my Japanese pullsaw to trim the outlines.
The saw was a bargain. I bought a replacement blade for cheap and made a handle for it.
The fine teeth are for crosscutting and the big teeth on the other side are for ripping (sawing with the grain). It really matters if you use the right teeth for the job.
