Default Flutes continued

Ok, I tried making a few stopped flutes which terminate with a taper
using a wedge as discussed in a previous thread. (Suggested by
SonomaProducts)

Here is the result:

Came out ok. You can definitely see where the taper begins in the
flute (not a completely smooth transition). This can probably be
fixed with a piece of sandpaper or just leaving it alone.



As the router starts to climb the ramp, it is only supported at two points
due to the round base plate. Using a square baseplate will make transitions
smoother.
