Felting Tools

I was asked if could make a couple of tools that are used to manipulate fibre for felting, I was given a picture and rough dimensions and this is what I came up with. The board is made from ceder as the fibres are wet when felting and the paddle is from yellow birch, I'll see how it hold up before I make another. The Board is from a ceder post re-sawn, glued to make a panel blank, is only a prototype because it has too many knots, if this is what she wants I'll use better material and refine the work so it doesn't snag the fibers too much.
