well, i am throwing my hat into the pure stock division. starting fresh from scratch with a block of solid walnut from a 1962 go-carting trophy that was given to me with about 35 others, this one was damaged and the size is 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" x 10". real old growth seasoned dry as its gonna get history. not much to look at now, but give me a week or so.... figure shape body and sand it to 2000 grit. clear coat and race. bri
