1st attempt, Wasted, wood too dry, left in rain. started noticing some lines splits. Too late it split so easily in the end. ah shucks. hazards of working with recycled wood.
2nd attempt at making replacement part. this one out of real hard chengal! it's really hard to saw. but it sure fits very well, finished all the crucial cuttings and fitting. mounts well.
