I'm on the lookout for a small panel (8-sided with a rectangular foundation). Most of them you'll find from days' past are of the large variety. Can anyone recommend a brand that made a panel group 4 or 3 size? Hopefully on the inexpensive side of things. Not looking to find a Dunhill or Ashton for hundreds of dollars, though when I think of the perfect panel, they instantly come to mind. Would love a sandblast finish, but that isn't mandatory.
I can definitely see why the panel is a difficult shape. There's so much geometry there. Lots of symmetry to try to maintain, and because you have all these angles, even the spatially challenged can see all the "mistakes" or differences from one plane to the others. All while trying to maintain a wall thickness, balance it at rest, etc. While the briar is having its own little battle with the maker. Quite a visually demanding shape, though it might not seem that way at a glance or intuitively.
