Last night and tonight got about 80% done creating the forming block that will be used to form all the rib flanges. Most build guides for the Bearhawk call for a 1" hardwood form block. The best I could acquire at the local home good store was 3/4" oak. My plan was to make two and glue them together to get a beefy 1.5" form block. While routing the first rough cut form block I had a hug chunk tear out. Plan 'B' is to proceed with a single 3/4" form block and use the damaged on as the backup block. I'll also use some additional scrap while clampng everything up insure adequate stiffness.
