I cut out the basic shape on my scroll saw, then take the dremel and do the cut outs around the feet then hand sand the rest to shape it. Takes some time but the end result is a fine looking and working acoustic bridge.

Yeah thats some hard ass wood !! alot harder then ebony so to get it to look like that requires alot of hand sanding with different grits.

Cool Randy, was it tough working on endgrain like that? I would imagine you have to be very careful eh?
