Thanks for the pix Waddy!! It's always great to see process! Yes even mistakes!!

I don't think I see the advantage of this type of joint though. With this much end grain bonding I guess it would necessitate easy repair. What are the better points of this joint?

Thanks again!

Waddy, respect for even attempting such a 'I'm gonna break my face' method...

It looks awesome and you've done a great job of it! Maybe you could start making blanks for others???

Now there is an idea. I could also make a new heel area for the neck, and, using a glue joint, still make it a continuous Spanish Heel.

Waddy,
I have always enjoyed watching your progress on projects, and this is another one I am really liking to see. Now you have me anxious to see the final product
