I'm making a few gavels for friends and am having trouble making the hammer ends properly domed and uniform. I'm putting a 2"X2" blank that is 6" long between centers and plan on an inch of waste at each end.I'm pretty bad with a skew to begin with and trying to get it through walnut end grain hasn't been successful. I've also tried, with limited success, a narrow scraper. Can anybody recommend a better method? Thanks
