Ultimately I decided to go blackwood because the shield that was obviously going to win looked better on that to my eye and because the polished bolsters look much better than the brushed, especially with the northfield lined bolsters. I would have much preferred bloodwood or kingwood, or really any wood with more obvious grain and polished bolsters.

Oh well, it shall be a beauty I'm sure. Hopefully nickel pins become a possibility but I'm not holding my breath.
