This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in round wood woodworking.

For this BB, you will carve curtain rods!


(source: Pinterest)

Minimum requirements:
 - must be made with roundwood (no dimensional lumber)
 - if the curtain rods will be exposed to water or the elements, like in a shower, you must oil the curtain rods
 - includes the mounting brackets

To get certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
- Progress about halfway through, with the hand tools you have decided to use for this
- List any power tools you used (Otis would love it if you only used hand tools)
- The final product

I carved round wood curtain rod brackets and a curtain rod from the bushes I cut down last fall.
