    An adaption of old shopfitters trick: for your pillar drill jig, use three protruding wood screws (eg 5x30) on one face (two at the bottom, one at the top centre line) of your pillar drill jig and two on the other (top & bottom of the centre line). You can screw them in and out to adjust the perpendicularity and no mater the shape/bow/twist/squareness of the stock, repeatability on the same faces is guaranteed. Good to chat at Makers Central BTW.

    The way you are working (not only) on the bandsaw disqualificates you as a woodworker. Can you even imagine what happens when somebody copies this catastrophic style an it goes wrong? It is not possible to prevent this from going wrong, by being careful. This is pure luck. All for the clicks...

    Awesome! My father tried to grow those trees, but it is only like one out of 50 that has this, and only in small pieces, and it takeas many decades for it to reach this thickness since they grow much, much slower than ordinary birchtrees. Those are popular as traditional knfe handles in Scandinavia because it keep the fingers warm instead of draining the heat like a an antler handle in the winter. Linen seed oil finish is the traditional, but doing it right takes many day and about 3 weeks to fully set, my father still used to make them the traditional way, but most younger people don't seem to hawe the patience to make a durable oil finish anymore, properly done it should look like old British gunstacks and repel water but feel good to toch and letting the full beauty wood shine trou.

    The pursuit of perfection often requires you to make it all in-house. Getting 3rd parties to manufacture parts to a very high standard with very small tolerance is very expensive. If it seems too cheap to be true, it definitely is.
