I'm building a deadblow hammer alla Wood Magazine and need to cut a curved slice from two sides of the handle. This would be a snap with a bandsaw, but I don't have one. The wood is Brazilian Rosewood, so just sanding it down would be way too hard, if possible at all. Is there anything that might be a workable substitute?
I've thought of the following:
Freehand carefully with a router table to get close to the line
Clamp a jigsaw inverted in the workbench vise and add a larger plate with 1/4" hardboard
Try to nibble it away on the tablesaw (ok on one side but problematic on the second side)
Ask here if anyone near Colorado Springs has a bandsaw and would like a visit from a creeker
