Hi . Just gotta get this out of my system . Tis is not a critisism but a small point of observation . It came to light when I was shown some ships wheels another scroller was doing . On my drive home ,I was thinking about what a nice job he was doing . I was in the Navy for a number of years and spent countless hours at the helm . On one of the wheel spokes ,there is a midship mark . Some have a metal cap or a bit of rope work to identify the mid ship position . Just thought I'd throw that in the ring for future ships wheel designs . Excellent work .Roger

another thing that I bet nobody has notice, the bottom right handle does not line up exactly with it's spoke. It got out of whack on final assembly and I pressed for time on the job, I considered the options and thought that it was acceptable. Did anyone else notice, the homeowners never called me out on it and it has been in their house for over a year, SHH

No, I didnt notice, but now that you pointed it out, it sticks out like a sore thumb!!! Still a work of art! Dale
