Default Now what can I do with these?

When I turn a nose cone I cut off 4 wedges off with my band saw. This way I have fewer wood chips to clean up.

Over the years I’ve accumulated quite a large supply of these things.

Now, what can I make with these?

I wonder…

OK, how about this?

No 3D printer. Just balsa glue and primer.

It fits a BT-60.

It needs a bit more sanding yet.
