I've just bought some G3 clefts from Matt @ H4L and they are perfect. Excellent service.
At the end of Jan I'll make a post about them but I've got to revise first for exams.

How did you find using the flat spokeshave? Just cant seem to get the hang of mine! Using the plane is fine, although mine isnt very sharp at the moment!
