Harmonica Case

Very nice Rob. It's a credit to you. I take it you have used brass screws in the oak as steel one's can make the oak go black

Looks good he should be well happy, shame he won't be able to play for a while, 70 candles gonna leave him short on blow!

I'm practising that manoeuvre but I have a plan with an airline up my sleeve.

I agonised about that for hours, then decided "sod it" (or words to that effect). The only screws I could get were steel with an antique brass finish, so I put them in a charred screw socket with plenty of wax in the socket.

Actually Clive I am surprised you didn't spot the big mistake. I'll PM you what it is

[Washout]

Really nice and now intrigued on the "big mistake" - the hinges not flush fit perhaps?

If you look carefully, you will notice that the grain pattern is different on each side of the case. If I had cut with either blank turned round 180deg, the grain patterns would have matched. Nevertheless, I am sure Toby will be happy with the case.
