I hear ya on the expert stuff. But perhaps you've never seen my work, or we've never met. Besides its not about me, Its just not the kind of stuff you want to make mistakes with. Just my .02 cents. Not all oyster case are flat, but the majority are. Rounding edges off is a rookie mistake even when the sides are not flat. A yachmaster has edges even though its high polished. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that you have to take everything into account.
