When I shape wood I use whatever tool is best or available for what I want to accomplish. These are called Surform tools. I have short ones, long ones, convex ones, full round and flat. Surform - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I use just about my full box of tools when shaping wood. Spokeshaves, block planes, Surforms, 60 grit sand paper, disc sanders and belt sanders. whatever works

thanks because when i was doing my build i bought some rasps and they just skated over the purple heart . ended up using the router and sandpaper only .
-
man this gun is sweet. I keep coming back to look at it. I hope whoever gets it really appreciates what a work of art it is
-
I agree Steve. The gun is sick. It almost looks like an Escher sketch. It goes in two directions. Amazing
-
Nice design Dusty, where did the inspiration come from and what are the benefits to this design?
-
Congrats on a unique build Dustan.
That's an interesting looking rasp. Does it take off wood more easily than the conventional kind? Where can I buy it?

Dan,
Surform tools are great for fast removal. Stanley makes them, Home Depot or Ace. The trick is to know when to stops and switch to a tool that removes less before it's too late. The are like cheese graders.... don't get carried away, it's easy to go too far. ROUGH MATERIAL REMOVAL ONLY. I have been using these since college wood shop.One thing I like them on is end grain.
this one is a favorite:
and this one
but with the half round. here is where I used the half round(it's more convex not half round) on the end grain to get a shape I wanted.

Nice work.

Sweet! Did you use any dowells on the side stocks?
