I started this one with the forearm first! Tasmanian Blackwood forearm with Victorian Mountain Ash inlay points. Laminated rock maple core inside Zebrano handle. Reconstituted stone inlays in the butt sleeve.
Initially I fitted white butt cap and collar, but I didn't like the contrast, so I replaced them in black.
Pin is Uniloc Radial.
