Making something just right

I was working on my new line of shuttles and I looked at the one that I had done a few days ago and had thought something not right about the top of it it had been just prototype but hey if I do not do the best I can on it then what am I doing making these for fine weavers everywhere.
So I fiddled with it and well oops I really messed it up. so I made a new one and Ha this one rocks. it is a world better as far as I can tell it feels better and looks great and that is what really matters.
I will let you tell me what you think I know the red circle is the part I goofed on. I got a little carried away with the wrong file. But for the benefit of the project I am sure you can see.

A glimpse into my future and possibly yours

As many Artists and Craftsmen out there know it is always good to think ahead and plan for the future so that if you ever get stumped you will have something to fall back on so today when I was working in my workshop a thought came to me what is it that I can do to my shuttles that I have not done yet so I thought and asked my wife to be (only 9 days) what would she like to see on the next one? She responded I would like to see *********** and some ******** and I thought well I can do that so I pulled out some Copper and started to saw and saw and saw well a bit of time later I had come up with this it is a 5.5 copper weaving shuttle for my next season line up yes I know that shape is still the same but what is that on the body? I will leave that up to you to determine but I like it and shazam I got hit with my next Idea for a 4 shuttle series but I really can not get to much into that just yet. It will be available just as soon as it is beta tested and quality checked (Noreen over at Hankering for yarn is eager to get her skilled hands on it).
well back to the workshop for me. Actually I have to polish my shoes for the wedding. I look very smart in my Tux if I do say so myself.
