MY GUILLATINE JIGS ARE HANDMADE ENTIRELY OF OAK. BOTH RISERS AND BASE. THE JIG HAS LEATHER STRIPS ON EACH RISER SIDE TO CUSHION THE POINT DURING FLUTING. ALSO INCLUDED IS AN ANVIL, A WEDGE, AND SHIMS FOR FINE TUNING POINT HEIGHTS. THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY JIG THAT WILL PROVIDE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. THE PROS OF THIS JIG ARE IT'S ABILITY TO GET FULL LENGTH FLUTES AND LOW FAILURE RATE. ALSO FEWER MOVING PARTS MAKE IT MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY AND EASIER TO LEARN TO USE. PRINCIPAL USE IN REPLICATION WOULD BE CUMBERLANDS, FOLSOMS, AND BARNES AND ST. LOUIS STYLE CLOVIS. IN THE PHOTO IS A FOLSOM I FLUTED USING A GUILLATINE JIG |
