Was turning this one to complete an order when i brought the handle of my chisel up too high and it grabbed the stock...broke off half the bell diameter on one side...I actually cried ...and contemplated throwing it away, but man I had gone so far with the thing...what to do? So I took her to the bandsaw and cut equal meat off each side and glued some African Balckwood on each side and POW......here she is ...fared tipped and headed to the classies...

Just goes to show the talent that you have, taking a expensive piece of damaged wood and then using your craftsmanship to turn it into a one of a kind striker. Well done Pappy!
