Hi,

I do make plenty to be honest.
This one is a laser inlay kit, and very unusually for me a ca finish which i struggle with, mucked it up though as i didn't sand the top edge round enough and when i assembled it cracked ever so slightly.
Its going to be auctioned on ebay probably with an irish bog oak Gents for a very good friends Daughter.
Who is 16 and this summer is spending 4 weeks of her school holidays in Peru at an orphanage. So the cash raised goes towards her flight which is about £900, shes aiming for £1000 and any cash left over goes for resources for the orphanage, quite humbling really as she could be sunning it in Turkey with her Mum and a big crowd.
