that looks crackin mate, not sure if i have seen a stick tang like that before leading from the spine? do you handle it th same way as a normal stick tang or is there some other sorcery involved? interested to see this one finished

She's looking really good! The brass and leather at either end is great and really suits the wood - nicely proportioned.
