Love the old Sheffield style too. I was thinking of camel bone or Grenadill wood on mine.

Christian,
I only own 5/8 and 6/8. Sure I want bigger, but not sure will be able to handle 8/8 in one jump. All comments are helpful with my indecisiveness.

Be Jay,
That's the most logical suggestion to me. Unfortunately I'm not so logical, was leaning towards 7/8 near wedge or 8/8 quarter hollow. I don't know why. May have to get both over time. Which first?
