I made a propeller for my Guillow's P-51. Some friends dropped by to say hello.

I use mahogany because it's strong, great for carving, and it's what I have. On smaller models, I use popsicle sticks. Making a 4-blade prop is twice the fun as making a 2-blade prop. Maybe more so. That knife was murder on my arthritis, so I splurged on a fancy ergonomic handle for $9. It's fantastic. The deer, Blacktails, are Hansel (being silly), Gretel, and Mom in the background. They drop by a couple of times a day to shit on the lawn and stare at us until we give them a treat.
