    They are from an heirloom piece of koa so I tried my best to allow this gorgeous wood to show its natural beauty while taming the soft fibers that were more prone to tear than actually cut.

    I had the same problem the other day with my SOTD pic. Something between mobiles and tapatalk, I think. Pic has to be taken in landscape, not upright, maybe?

    No worries, these will be in Tennessee soon enough. I'll tell you its getting harder to let these go with each brush I finish.
