I would like to ask opinions on 2 things regarding this kit/blank.
First, I ordered a blue box elder blank but it is a darker blue than in the catalog.
Do you think it is too dark for this kit.
Second, I turned the blank to just proud of the fittings. Mine is at .528" and the bushing call out is .495". I looked at several examples and I like the look of the blank larger than .495" which would set it smaller then the fittings.
Does this size look OK?
I still need to do a better job of preping the blank. There are a few small voids that I want to fill and clean up the ends a bit.
Thanks for your help.
