Also finished.
Assumed 15 rather than 14 letters.
Can anyone explain significance of shape?

Fairly easy grid fill but I still can't parse 1ac! What am I missing?

1ac. Tapestry at heart undergoes R&B rearangement for Asian track producers? (5)

AR?AS

Arbas (A. transport) from Arras (tapestry) after r/b change!

Many thanks GK; before I posted I tried searching for ARBAS in word WordWebPro but got nothing; google search also gave nothing remotely resembling asian transport (certainly not in first few pages) . Shouldn't have been so dumb; normally do a singular search (as WorWeb often misses plurals) - of course it appears as an alternative under ARABA (which DOES appear with a plural search!).

Many thanks again.

Many thanks for that Don. I agree with others about the J but my dilemma is which of the double consonant in 31 down to draw the line through because both seem to work. My preference is for the second one.

yes - because the 2nd one makes it all symmetrical

Re 14v15: could argue that if you start at J and complete path through remaining 14 cells of name, then you've actually only passed THROUGH 14 cells, as required?
