well, i know Dan knows more about it than me...lol. Here is a crazy idea....if the finish is an issue, why not work a special deal where they will do a run of 30...UNFINISHED, and then maybe work out some kind of special pricing with someone (like Pat Wilkins) to do finishing for the people who buy them. It may raise the price to the end user slightly, but it would then be a truly custom BG5. I am just really wanting a BG5 right now...lol
That's not a bad idea, in fact it's actually quite good. Well I think it's good.
In what colour?
