My dad and bro would be proud of me - I'm the black sheep of the family, my dad had more than 50 years as a joiner and my brother has a degree in furniture restoration (yeah, from a university!) and I'm a banker!!! Ha ha ha. When I looked at pictures of teak on the web afterwards I realised I was slightly awry. Oh well, I'm still the winningest loser!!!!!!

Thanks Newtobengall got the blanks today just in time for the weekend. I love the blackheart sassafras will definitely have to use a special blade for that n the myrtle is short enough for me to try to make a cjb folding. Will need to do some research on how to finish wood scales as I have only ever done acrylic
