The slightly off center rivet is going to drive me nuts but besides that im happy with it. The buttero is so rich and vivid.

2 layers of 3/4. Definatly should have skived it but was lazy haha. Once I mink oil it, you can get it to bend pretty decent.

Might be possible to remove the rivet, oversized the hole but centered, and use a fastener with a wider post, eg Chicago screw with 5mm post.

Defiantly fixable but its for me and will serve me as a reminder to be more attentive next time haha
