Woody,

Like the diversity, the gavel angle of strike first time from memory I have seen that used, Richard Raffan is an active member of my Woodcraft Guild so I am very familiar with his tall skinnies and these shapes, his fiddlesticks etc guess they need to be behind glass. Made a pen once for an elderly Chinese man originally from from Hong Kong we used to teach conversation english for many years at a community centre anyway he had a huge value Jade collection in a safe, one piece was an ( my opinion) ugly frog reputed centuries old his habit was to sit and run it through his hands well in his new house they have those large floor tiles he dropped the frog and chipped a piece off. He gave it to me to restore? so I got out my trusty dremel smoothed it off fine papered it to real smooth. He was so excited I was glad to have this fabulously expensive object back with him. He wacked it into his safe. I made a pen for him he put that in the safe as well. What I was referring to you saying some of your work ends up behind glass. Nearly always when I give a Pen I give it from my top pocket not in some fancy box they are meant to be used.

Like your work done previously follow your posts.

Kind regards Peter.
