Nice flame and color but not sure what's going on with the dartboard tailpiece...
I would think it is copied from the original - anyone who has seen the original please chime in. i was wondering this myself.
The original has some pitting. They don't "match" those marks on each tailpiece. Instead they give us something similar.
Man is so she changes with every shot i have seen these days.
Most Bursts do.
I hate to expose my ignorance but are you the owner of the original Donna? I think I read where you picked out the tops for the run, is that correct? Although I have been following the forum recently a lot I stay away for long periods of time and I really don't know who is who. It gets too expensive for me to stay tuned in for too long because I get crazy and buy one after the other. With retirement in front of me I am thinking of staying away from this place - I get tempted every time I see a new Donna and only a fool would drop that kind of dough in my financial state:##

Hi Tom,
Were the blanks selected from a normal pile of R9 tops, or were they presorted for CCs?
Yes, I have owned [and named] Donna since the late 80s. My name is Tom Wittrock, but my user name is TW59. I have a hard time keeping people straight on here, and I've been here a long time.
I was involved in selected top blanks, along with Edwin Wilson of the Custom Shop, and on a second visit I also got help from Charlie Daughtry [CDaughtry, owner of Nicky and long time friend]. I had no background in selecting maple tops, and relied on Edwin to make most of the selections. And keep in mind, they might look different after they are carved.
I wonder which one is the "keyhole" Donna? :hmm
