Self-built stitching pony question

[bvc79]

I have my brother (a master woodworker) building me a nice stitching pony, but I wanted something in the mean time.  I knocked out a cheap stitching pony (about $14) with my limited woodworking tools (and skills!).  Due to a whoopsie based on said shoddy tools/skills I had to recut the 45 degree angle up by the jaws one the moveable arm.  If you look closely, you'll notice that the "jaws" that hold the piece in place are slightly different sizes.  Will this have a detrimental effect on anything I clamp in? 

Thanks, 

Brian

It shouldn't matter, as long the work is being held at the same place. Make sure the jaws are padded with some leather, you don't want to leave marks on the work.

I've used some sturdy felt for this cheap pony.  I'm stingy and I didn't want to waste leather on a placeholder piece.
