So here's my first attempt, let me know if you want me to move this to a new thread.
It's got 36mm edges and a spine height around 60mm, I was a bit disappointed that the cleft wouldn't allow a higher spine than this. Toe is 22mm on the edge and 30mm in the centre, top of the shoulders are 13mm. Weight is 2.9
Things I learned: 1 - don't be shy. I wasted heaps of time being nice and not hacking away with reckless abandon. 2 - I suck at binding 3 - handle shaping is the hardest part
I used a heel shave that I got from John at Red Ink, which initially was totally useless but after a couple of hours honing and sharpening made things pretty simple.
It still needs a few touch ups and probably some more handle binding before a final sand, edge boning and I'm contemplating doing a lamitoe from the outset to keep it together.
