How to Handshape an Agave Blank?

You can work the agave with the same tools as with conventional foam. We recommend working with the planer as much as possible, as this is originally made for wood and cuts the agave even better than you are used to with foam.

It is good to know that there are 10 to 30 different agave plants in a blank. Growblanks has the ability to offer 3 different densities because of their enormous ranch of plants on the farm which they sort into very light, light and standard poles. When sanding it is important to understand that there are multiple plants in your blank that may have naturally slightly different densities. This can be a little challenge when sanding the nose and tail. Sand with care, watch in between!
