ff-holes part III

I finished the ff-holes today. I tried with a file at first thinking it would be easier to deal with the differences hard and soft grains of the wood. But that wasn't so. I found it difficult to control the file and ended up always taking more of the oft wood out than I wanted. So used the knives I had made earlier. They worked great. I used all knives in the end. The very thin blade was great at the tight spots where as the wider ones allowed me to get nice smooth shavings elsewhere. It was good to have a left handed blade also.

The ff-holes aren't in fact quite finished, I didn't do the nicks yet.
