Wood Carving

Model for Under Eaves Trim
We are putting up the siding on our remodel project in St. Johns. When you get to the top of the wall you need some trim so it looks like it was built by civilized people and not some hacker-bashers. We're working on an inside corner under the valley that joins the old roof, built with 2 x 6 rafters, and the new roof, built with trusses made from 2 x 4's. This is our attempt to carve a piece of wood to fit in this corner. Once we get it so that it fits to our satisfaction, we will have to reproduce it on a longer piece that will run to the outside corner. Kind of a pain, but sometimes the more complicated way gets you to your goal quicker than trying to do it all in one fell swoop.

I'll give you extra credit for making your model a short piece. Don't laugh. I've seen people do that! Lookin' good.

Well, by "do that" I (obviously?) meant that they made the model a long piece.

Turns out our master modeler decided against this complicated approach and devised a simpler solution. Still, it was an interesting exercise. Had to break out the saber saw to make this. And I got a blog post out of it.
