I can't think of a better choice tbh. The contrast with the steel and the gloss black looks stunning. Cheers for the great gob man!

Have you seen Adam Savage's restoration video of his set of micrometers and case? I'm no machinist, but I'd love to have a set like that just to admire the craftsmanship.

I thought I was done with this thread, but the fact that the material is spec deserves another hats-off. That was lucky, especially with lumber prices right now.
