Are those finger braces upside down from the usual pattern on purpose? Will be interesting to see if that gives it a unique sound
'tis a fine looking box.

The rosette was in the back of my mentors drawer. His name is mark wahl by the way. I almost went with a herringbone until I saw that one. I've never seen one like it. That little plane is sweet! I did the finger braces backwards on purpose. Not really any reason other than originality. I thought they looked nice that way so mark and I had a discussion about it and I went with it. |
