In Response To: Strip: Making the Grab Loop Tunnels (Rick Sylvia)

Here is the way I made mine. In the picture I have one tunnel made of Ash (it was too big) and then a Walnut tunnel inserted inside the Ash. I took 1 1/2" thick boards and layed out the outside dia. with a compass. Then drilled the hole size tunnel with a drill press. Then band sawed out the outside dia. and sanded the outside dia. on a table disk sander. I know that requires some tools to do this but this is another way of doing it.
