She ate a little more wedge than I want up front but that's just the shape of the eye. Another terrible kerf cut in my part. Lost a little off the front left front breakage. This goes back to my what do guy use to cut the kerf thread.

Grain orientation sucks but I have to work with what I have.
Actually the grain is not bad. Perfect diagonal is an excellent compromise and the grain in yours miraculously bends with the curves. Full runout such as you'd see on a horizontal grain haft just didn't happen. Good luck trying to break this, it'll probably outlast you!
