Yes. They were the same design. Quite well done, but the reason I do not use it is because the lacquer / polyurethane finish tends to bind on the cast buttons that Brian made. It might be the mix of plastics or it might be that the carved piece might be slightly out of alignment when used with the third party buttons. Whatever the cause, the combination is not something I use on the players.

With any kind of burl, you have to worry about cracking along any of the grain lines. In the case of the fasica, the bottom near where the handle rests is very thin. An unlucky burl location along that line might split if any pressure is applied from the rear - which can happen easily as you lift the handle. I lost one wooden fascia that way.
