Im working on a Easter red cedar, juniper, tsuga, for my tang.

I'd like to know how to do a file test and will post a video when I do that.

I believe the red cedar is wide enough, now I wsnt to cut the wood in half so that I can start to sand it down and customize it to the tang. I have wittling tools, and ill get more sanpaper as I get closer to the end.

I have 150 grit fine for getting the rust off the blades.

Anything i need moving forward with the tsuga in mind? Experience and similar woodworking techniques, is hopeful from the post.

Ill be on youtube as well.

Thanks!
