cheers, i've also heard that twine is often used but i wasnt sure whether there was a specific type of twine or not?

It took me a couple of hours because i used the plane more than the draw-knife!

That was your second attempt???? Talk about a duck to water, very impressed norb!
Talking of kashmir clefts - whats the best price that people can get hold of them for - need a few more practice clefts me thinks.....an early christmas present to myself.

No thanks Gareth have already tried it with my own cleft. Sillyshilly mine set me back £17 but I've seen people selling them for cheaper. If im honest I would just get some EW clefts, kashmir just seems impossible to make anything decent out of as its just so god damn hard!

Half the players in the 3-4s have gorilla hands, and that looks really good!

Is a kashmir cleft really harder to cut than an English one?
