Awesome work as usual John! It was a privilege to see this in person as it was being worked on! Great to see the finished product.

The file work on the spine is beautiful. I'm not usually a fan of that kind of thing but it looks so sleek, smooth, and simple. That's an amazing piece of functional art.

The long, sleek profile catches your eye and the details draw you in. That's the recipe for awesome sauce right there . Love it!
