If you could only buy one which is my case, which would you prefer? Also for making saw handles could you get away with just a #15 or would the #12 be better??The Flying XShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473644349812369568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799583606852363956.post-26395841371299408142012-09-27T15:46:59.210-04:002012-09-27T15:46:59.210-04:00Ron - Do you have any Koa left over?

Of course its perfect for the inside curve on a guitar neck, but I often use for those hard to get at spots on a rocker backrest where it attaches to he back legs too.<br /> I am sure you will be sending a cheque to Noel before too long.<br /><br />BTW - I have a nice piece of local hornbeam drying to turn for handles for some of my rasps.Richard Wilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174534486190999877noreply@blogger.com
