Trimming to width
The widths are a little more difficult. The top surfaces of the C# and D# keysticks are wider than the F#, G#, and A# keysticks. Regardless of that, each piece of bone must be about .308” wide, or the width of the top surface of your widest sharp. That’s too narrow to register the piece on my squaring jig so the trimming must be done freehand. I made a sample out of a piece of scrap to the exact width I need. We’ll place a piece of bone underneath this sample and draw a line on the bone representing the necessary width.
