My beloved Sweet Potato is almost past the point of no return so I need a replacement. After doing lots of research I decided that a Baked Potato would be a worthy alternative. Having the luxury of having the SP close at hand I have been able to attempt a replica build but with a few of the Baked Potato enhancements - like the pulled in nose and the diamond tail. Today I finally had some time to put the concaves in and finish her shape. I copied the SP with a single into a double - nice and deep though the tail. I was terrified and took it slow but am stoked with the result. Thanks for your advice argkee - I mainly used the surform then the sanding block though as I am such a pussy Next time I may have a crack with the planner to save some time now that I am a little more comfortable about the process. I need to sort the nose out as well - on reflection its a little pointy! Will try and find some time this week to start the glassing.

Here are a couple of shots - in the first one you can see the double concave through the tail of the SP. So that is what I was trying to replicate.
