OMG... are we experiencing a Pottz dopleganger? No... not two of them,
I'm not an avid fan of acrylics, however, I do give credit² to your casting. That timber makes the pen... and the shape, I should stop before I break into tears.... I remember paying a small fortune to get this hybrid blank, that never sold.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
