Thanks,
About the clip, I love the hammered look, was going for a rustic look with this wood.... The clip it's self trials off to the right at the bottom, I noticed that before I attached it, cross members are square with the cap. I think it gives it charter, 300+ historic and a cross clip the looks weathered and worn....
It is a silver clip from Silver Pen Parts. Just ordered more!
Yes, screws through the cap, 1mm bit and matching optical stainless screw, that was the fun part.......
