Edgier? More to the point I reckon.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

My favorite of yours yet. Beautiful fret work. What are you using for leveling and crowning? Some bigger manufacturers could take a leaf or two out of your book.

I level with first a radius beam, then a narrow leveling beam,

I crown with a triangle file ...I have got crowing files but I prefer the triangle.

Polish is using Fret rubbers followed by compound and some 10K abrasive paper.
