Made this out of an old scribing block and soldered the moon together out of an old paint box. The wooden clouds taken from another project I made them for.
 
A bit of an experiment this , my first B flat whistle made of African Blackwood and Nickel Silver. Back to the drawing board with this one as it could sound better at the top of the second octave.
There is an optimum inside diameter which starts around 14mm, for whistles in this key. Though this one has the much narrower bore ( 12.7mm ) used on my whistles in the key of D.

Muscle memory is a wonderful thing and it certainly develops with use. That said what saw are you using. A badly set saw can wander all on its own.

Thank you but alas, I can not blame my tools. I have three different makes of handsaws: Nakaya, Tamatori and Okada and I can saw like a drunken lemur with any of them. I will have to learn over time!
