Not a bad first effort bloke, when you need more practice let me know and i will send Erica's left hand thumbhole down to you for a rubbing and chiseling.

Oh it isnt "finished" or inletted yet either though :lol: :lol:

I recognise that toothbrush :lol:

Looking good. Did you get a pic of the old checkering? Once you get in the 'zone' the time goes quickly and checkering appears slowly. :D
A bit of sanding around the edges fixes a lot of things :wink: speaking from experience.
