I like the slanted bolsters...

Thanks!! Appreciate it. The blue one is only bevelled at 15degs, the white one was 30 but it would have caused some awkwardness with hollow shaping, it was also set slightly away from the tip of the wood scale so would have left it vulnerable. Learned from that to make the blue, the original design/intent. The DI is supported with carbon fibre underneath.
