Love that! It's great you've got the tools and materials to hand. Is the carbon bare? If you lacquer it with a few coats you can really polish it up to a high finish. A friend of mine who's in the bodywork trade has made some really nice carbon skinned car parts, both for interior and exterior.
Have you cut the profile into the crystal or was it bought like that? What plans do you have for a strap?
Can't wait to see the next instalments.
