    Nice
    lovely timber, nice finish
    good selection of kit to show off as much as possible
    but does the blank come in a bit (ie overturned) at the clip end or is that one of them optical illusions

    Yep, you are right ! But partly an illusion ,the wood was quite soft and its slightly hollowed in the sanding at the clip end, but not as bad as it looks in the picture
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
