Rough day in the shop

I had an absolute blast in the shop today -- it was roughing day.

I roughed out the straight Belge, and I'm very pleased with the shape. It's ready for either file-work or stem fitting and sanding, depending on how the shape looks tomorrow.

I got the mystery-shape half-roughed. I'm not sure what it's going to look like yet, other than that from the side it'll probably look like a hook. Very deeply bent, curved rim that flows up into the shank. I tend to work from the givens to the whatevers. That seems to make it more fun.
