As mentioned by Jason a few days ago. We started talking about PFS frames as an off shoot to the SSOTM from November. I sent him my PFS Mule and received these beauties in exchange. The wood is Olive wood cutting board as Jason informed me. I didn't realize that Olive wood was used in culinary but great to know for future wood sourcing projects. The metal Picklebone is stainless Steel.

Everything showed up just as Christmas was upon us and didn't (and still don't) have proper time to give them the time they deserve. Finally found a few minutes yesterday to band them up and gave the wood Tiny Turtle and the SS Picklebone a quick test shot. The TT is banded with 0.5 GZK and the SS Picklebone has 0.5mm BSB bands. Amazing the difference in the two different latex. Not good or bad, just different.

The TT shot like it was on rails. Takes me about 3 shots to dial in a PFS, and then it was golden. Repeatable right down the middle. The Picklebone was almost the same, but I was hitting just a tad bit low. Maybe due to the minor difference in fork width. Or just me!

Both are awesome shooters and hope to maybe today band up the Olive wood Picklebone.

Thanks Jason, these are great and greatly appreciated!
