Eris, that does indeed look a whole lot better!

That looks much more familiar shape for me.
The first knot looked good but it was big :)
Looking forward for the next one.

Good job Eric.
I like that shape. It will actually fit ergonomically much better than the round one.
I think you're gong to like that one a lot.

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

Eric, I agree, that looks more like a whip handle. You'll be much happier with it.

Eric, I think this shape will work much better for you.
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

As predicted/suggested the new heel turned out much better. After attempting multiple different knots, I did have to build it up a little with hockey tape to get one to work. I now know what size and shape to start with next time. Just needs some wax and a cracker and I'm calling it done.

Thanks again for the kind words and suggestions.
