Thank you very much for that feedback, and well picked up on the wood. That is 19mm, which was the closest I could get to what I believe will be 14mm on the real thing. After your comments I will try harder to get something closer to 14mm. I have had my jigsaw for close to 30 years and it hasnt done much in the last 20!. I will certainly be trying different cuts as you suggested.
After my painting trials I have an idea of what I want to do, but trying off cuts and seeing if the paint looks the same is a great idea.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Don.
