Wow, nice looking slimlines there! You've also managed to make the slimline look more substantial without giving it that 'sausage with a tight belt' look...
Top class, as always :2tsup:
Cheers,

I think Jim or Gary sell them.
Just had a look and Jim has them single or double.

Love that Black Palm myself :2tsup:
I've got a heap around the workshop some where :? I've also got some old growth coconut that looks like its lighter brother :U
If chisels fail you on this stuff, the 80 grit works a treat for the last 1mm :rolleyes:

Not a big fan of the slimlines but I do like the way you transitioned the taper to match the nib perfectly. Very skillful of you. The black palm is an interesting timber and looks great with your CA finish. :)
