    Hell, it's as good as I have ever seen!

    A router is a cool tool in the right hands.

    Well, then I won't point of the bad spots. One of them is in plain view on the lid. Oops. I said I wouldn't tell.

    The lid could be a big open lid, I think.

    I will try and give you the readers digest of this story.
    I was working as a junior joiner for a short while in a cabinet shop. I was rough cutting the legs for a curio cabinet. One of them was a little off. I said I will have to make another. The guy that ran the shop said I think we can just call it the back leg.
    It’s not about being perfect all the time, sometimes it’s about know how to repair, comer, or hide the flaws.

    I love the look of this, Jerry. Seeing this definitely makes me want to give this a go.

    I’m not a wood expert, but those scales will be stunning. What kind of wood is that?

    My next project is one which is way overdue.
    I have only seen a few others with these MOP collars.
    The blade is way loose and the scales have some de-lamination issues and some bug-bites. Hopefully my skills are up to the task.
    Should be some nerve-wracking fun, eh?
