          Rustic is good, yes?  The perfection is in the imperfections 😞 😞

          Either way, I'm very happy with the look.  Crumb and taste, to comer later….

              They all look spectacular. What did you do the baguettes with? Sourdough starter? A mix?

                    Thought that I needed a straight bladed lame as well as the curved one I have.

                    One piece of dowel, a razor blade and 2 zip ties and voila….....

                    I just put a slit at the end of the dowel with a sharp knife and a small hammer, stuffed the blade into the slit and zipped it in place....

                      Bravo! Nice job with that baking tool .  😎 😎

                      Now we need OGL to make a nice sheath for these to avoid accidents while stored.

                      The journey is the objective.

                            You've got a walking foot machine?  Damn, I'm envious. Been wanting one of those for a while, but can't justify it to the wife yet.
