@nsj I've got abalone dots on my current build, just the standard round ones. I'm looking forward to seeing the scaley dragon though. A bit too artist...

@nsj Your bat inlay looks perfect, that's something else I'll have to try sometime. I had a try a while back using some shells off the beach here a...

@bpower I like the idea of the bottle screws on your jig, I'm going to be copying that idea on mine, I've got some of these in my boat junk box.
