It's a good thing Christmas was close and I had to ship it right after Ray had finished it. If I had kept it any longer, it would have been difficult to part with.
For some reason Linda thinks you deserved something special. I think she's a keeper.
And, as usual, Ray was great to work with.
Some day I'll have one of my own. Carolyn is leaving for the Philippines on Monday (darn unemployment, I was going to go with her) and I have given her specific instructions to bring home a kamagong box from Baguio with just the right grain and thickness so I will have some good kamagong for a project like this, or a slipjoint.
