What are the cheaper option band saws that will work for this that will cut to that size? Also what size piece did you use for the head? Thanks

[@edmorrison8507]

Wonder where to get the utility knife that exposes so much blade.

[@cabininthewoods517]

Olfa makes extending blade utility knives.

[@AndreaBarton-vj1sq]

what kind of wood did you use?

[@cabininthewoods517]

Basswood.

[@Inevitable-Infarct]

Do you think I could get away with using a jig saw?

[@cabininthewoods517]

Yes, but you’d have to rough cut the duck in several thinner layers, then laminate them together afterwards.
