Thanked: 4207I was blessed to join before his passing and really valued his comments on my builds. Helped me to evolve my finesse on things like brush turnings.
His craftsmanship, always top shelf! His criticism equally valued..

Thanked: 4207Thought this a good thread to post this too.
Beside myself with appreciation and thanks for this Beauty that arrived in the mail unexpectedly.
A pixelfixed original from a very generous friend in the southern states.
Couldn’t have asked for something that will be so appreciated, for a long time to come, god willing.
Thank you indeed to a friend I hope to tip an elbow with one day in person..

Thanked: 4207Looks to be silver? No markings on it, but a little tarnish that reminds me of the argyle patina. And yes, I believe you are right on the main materials as well Tom.
Wasn’t sure if he used real ivory this big, but it feels so weighty and smooth in hand, must be.
Edge is still very crisp where the ebony meets the ivory..not sharp, but crisp..
Really a stately looking handle."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

Thanked: 4830For those of us that appreciated his work, that is a priceless item to receive. It’s also so very typical of his design and choice of materials.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

He did one for me of my design. It was hard to convince him it would all be OK!
Also Ebony and Ivory..
