I was reviewing my favorites and noticed the kerfmakers everyone had been building some time ago, so I decided to have a go.
Made from mahogany and hard maple for the runner.
I had to go to the local ACE to find some brass hardware, I never could find a fender washer that was brass so I wound up using a nickel. (I think I remember Mafe using a coin on one of his.)
Finished with shellac and wax.
