Hey Dave-
I'm with Fitz...I like the idea of the fluted spacer, but this is such a handsome piece to begin with you could easily go without.
BTW. While I've got you,...the new books have finally arrived here in the States! Once they've cleared customs and I've recieved my shipment I will be sending complimentary copies to many of the book's USA participants...and that includes you! (I'm handling about 1/2 the makers and David is shipping books to the other half). It won't be long now. Pretty exciting, eh?
