Making a fairing stick involves a few key steps to ensure accuracy and precision. Firstly, select a straight piece of wood that is at least as long as the longest curve you wish to create. Next, mark reference points along the length of the stick where you want to establish the curves. These points will serve as guidelines for shaping the fairing stick. Using a bandsaw or coping saw, carefully cut along each reference point to gradually shape the curves. Take your time and make small cuts, as it is easier to remove more material later than it is to add it back. Once all the curves are cut, smooth out any rough edges using sandpaper or a file until you achieve your desired fairing stick shape.
