There I was, thinning out a 1/4" thick piece of oak the other day, and I asked myself-- why not just use popsicle sticks? They are made out of birch, can be layered to a desirable thickness, can be sanded to a contour, and can be profiled in no time at all.
It took a little practice, but the tactic paid off. Here is a pitted kinfolks wedge dressed with "white wall" popsicle scales.

Cool! That's using the ol' noggin'...............
Very classy look! I especially like the fact that you found a simple solution to a problem that I didn't know I had. I'm gonna try this one! Keep up the good work!

Very clever. Looks good. Are tongue depressors the same wood?

Thanks! Good question. I'm not sure. I know that all food-grade popsicle sticks are made of birch-- so I would assume so.Quote:

Nice idea. They look a bit thick to me but not all scales are so thin. Nice job!
Nice idea, it turned out really good!
