Shawn;
Your knee hooks look great,I've been trying to copy them with little success.
Could you elaborate a bit on your method of carving.
ie. length of 2x4?

tools to use?

how do you hold the piece of 2x4 while working on it?

is the under side of the cockpit recess where the hook is glued?

do you glue the 2x4 piece on before or after shapeing?
Many Thanks For Your Help!!

Regards Terry
