The colors in this set of Brazilian are really nice. I sprayed water on the sides before bending and they look fantastic! I'll try to get you some more photos soon!

Love that sinker! On the lining, at first I thought Bill must have run out of the small clips, then I remembered (and saw) that you have the arm bevel

I really love this Sinker top Bill picked out to pair with this Brazilian set. It is one of the most striking Sinker tops that I have seen! Bill really has a great stash of wood!
