Lightbulb Hand carved wooden props

I see a lot of poorly carved wooden and painted plastic props these days.Remember that a prop is a miniature airfoil so there is no way that a laminated prop can have a straight glueline from hub to tip.Please see an excellent article by Ken foran on the proper way to carve a prop.
