I love the new shape! Is that gonna be a new thing? Those goes better together than ice-cream and steak! ~Andre
Nah, the shape of the striker came about because I took it from a 3/4" thick board, and turned and turned and turned and just couldn't get rid of one flat spot, so I was forced to cut a bit of a scalloped shape in it in order to get it round. It worked out but it isn't something I'm going to stick with. But I do like lightweight strikers and this one is definitely lightweight, so it is motivation to take a little more material off my average striker.
Thanks for the kind words everybody.
