I see how it all works - clever !!
So is there a wood core in the tang ?
It looks like you removed the carbon on the compression side.

Brian, tangs are made from carbon rovings at present. But nothing sez we couldn't place a strip of 2mm balsa in there. Just got to make sure that there is enough roving surrounding the balsa to keep flex low. Tang thickness is about 3.5 mm in my current mold.
