Rocket blank rough shaped with the porthole glued in.

When the rocket is near its final shape, I drill the ½” hole for the porthole. Because pre-made dowels are not readily available in bubinga (dark wood), I’ve turned my own to the size I need.

I’ll set the rocket body blank aside until the porthole glue sets, then turn it to its final shape and sand it.
