Tool for flute making

[liolor]

dear Sirs,

I've seen on your Forum many interesting tools made by the members. I'm interested in recorder (flute) making and for this I would need a curved tool like the one in the attached pictures. It's a traditional hand-tool, like a scraper used to scrape the recorder winday. It looks like a broach, but it cuts by pulling and not by pushing and it has a curved section. Maybe you have an idea how to make this, or even some of you could make it ...thank you very much for any help you could give me. Greetings from Italy

go to a good wood working supply store

and Look for a set of "Rifflers" they are almost that exact shape
and have the benefit of teeth at both ends..

here is an example??

btw, done nearly the same thing by modifying a flat file.. a lil heat and a shallow bend! ;D

If the wood is hard.. and I think that it will be, metal files can work and give a good finish.
you can find a lot of options here.

Also somewhere I saw files that can be bended to almost any form, I will try to find them.
