All....most..... there....

The flute is almost completed. Finished shaving it down to form and sanding the flute to 400 grit, will probably sand a bit more after the flute is tuned the rest of the way and has the six finger holes drilled out. Once that is finished it just needs to be shellacked and that'll do it for the flute itself. Still need to make a "bird" for the flute so it actually plays. I've been borrowing one for now just to tune it and such.

Old "nest" new bore.

had to cut all those little pieces off to tune the flute to F#

Preparing to shave the flute to its final form.

Shavings, and the final product. Pretty happy with this
considering everything this poor flute has been through.
