I took a little material from the middle of both flute kits before gluing them together so it would not be as wide.  I plugged the small breath holes and re-drilled them closer to the new center.  With such a nice "canvas" I just had to wood burn a few pictures.  The clear semi-gloss poly gave some pop to the grain and the etchings.

Carving the fipples was the scariest part of the whole operation.  I wasn't too clear on the angles but using the pre-drilled kit as a guide all came out great.  Tuning was a breeze on the drone side. I started small on the holes and used the wood burner for fine tuning.

Oh yeah, the flute sounds wonderful as well.  I love the astonished expressions on peoples faces when the drone kicks in and I'm playing harmony.
