Tools and Equipment

Our Pre Tuned kits need to be shaped, sanded, and varnished. Below are a list of supplies we recommend for this project.

. A small hand plane, carving knife, or rasp
. Sandpaper in grits 60,80,120, 150, 180, and 220
. Varnish (polyurethane works great!)
. Varnish applicator, paint brush, foam brush, or cloth
. Disposable gloves
. Dust mask
. Swab for applying varnish in the main bore (optional)

Our Pre Tuned kits are sealed in the slow air chamber and blowhole( the areas that build condensation) so you are welcome to apply any finish you prefer to the outside of the flute. Polyurethane, linseed oil and wax, and shellac are some of our favorites!

Consider working in a well ventilated room for both the sanding and varnishing phase of flute making. Wear a well fitting disposable mask to protect your lungs from dust and fumes.


Carving & Shaping A Pre Tuned Kit

In this video, I go through the entire process of carving a flute with a hand plane to shape it. There are other methods of shaping our Pre Tuned Kits, but this is one of my favorites.

Sanding & Varnishing A Pre Tuned Kit

In this video I walk you through the entire process of finish sanding and varnishing your flute. I use polyurethane to finish this flute, but there are other finishes that are easier to use such as linseed oil and wax. Polyurethane will provide the most durable finish and doesn't need to be maintained.

Flute Totem Carving Block - Unfinished Animal Cutouts with 7/16ths Groove

$10.00

Looking for a way to gussy up your flute? Our unfinished flute blocks are the perfect accessory for the woodworking enthusiast! These animal shaped flute totems are unfinished, rough shapes, with the groove in the bottom milled and sealed. Get your carving tools! These blocks need to be shaped, sanded, and varnished!

Add extra details by wood burning, painting, staining, and inlaying stones into these cutouts. We’ve done the precise groove milling, so these are ready for your creativity to take flight!
The groove in these blocks milled to a 7/16ths inch width which is perfect for all three of our flutes making kits as well as any Premiere or Beginner flute in the keys of A, G, F#, F, E. You can double check with me before purchasing or measure your existing flute to make sure the width of the sound hole matches the 7/16” wide groove in these blocks. Some stellar flutes in D, C, and B will also use this size of block, but it is best to ask before buying!

When sold separately these blocks will come with a piece of leather for tying the block on, when added to a kit order, they only come with extra leather upon request since the kits already come with leather.
