My first Alpha and first time using Chacate Preto, a wood I'd never heard of before buying some at Yandles.

very nice on both counts.

The wood looks figured but subtle- is that correct, or just how the photograph looks?

Nice finish and great woodd

As my reply,

I like the finish and the wood selection is top end..

However.. There has to be one..

Is it the picture or is it the kit that the top of the clip ring looks "off set" and not central to the rest of the cap.. See my picture to see what I mean..

Just doesn't look right. Might be the way the photo is taken or reflections..:thinks:
