Nice !!
Just a word of advice ....
Right at the beginning of this thread, you make the assumption that people will remember "Prototype #1". . Most DO NOT remember.
So .... it is a very good thing that you reminded us with your second post in this thread showing us the 2 prototypes for comparison.
Thank you for that.
Many of us are very interested in what you have to show, but we just don't remember from one thread to the next.
So .... thanks again for the reminder !!!
. Now we have both in our minds, and everything is OK !!!
But .... a further reminder of what materials you are using would also be appreciated !!! . Our brains are OLD, yours is YOUNG !!
Thanks in anticipation of receiving this further reminder.
Oh .... I reread your thread title .... Blackwood !!! . (But, is that actually a name for a wood species ? . I forget !!)
