Another Brooks scrap.

[Drstrangefart]

This was a scrap from an impressive slab Brooks poured a while back (If memory serves right). The challenge was trying to get a Trimline out of a scrap that was so narrow. It was literally BARELY thick enough to make it this size. I didn't want a centerband, but the tubes got shortened a little during milling and handling. Glue gave me a couple of issues that cost me some tube length, ultimately. The centerband is a 90 degree crosscut from the same stuff. I will be looking into trying to find a cleaner matchup with another cb later, I think.

I like it and personally I think the CB works.

I second Derek's comment. I think the center band works well in both colors and shape.

Fine looking scrap!

The center band would be fine if it matched up a little better.

It REALLY needs a touch of the yellow in it. I tried to work some in there, but the innards are truly a surprise that don't show until turned down.
