The Highest Compliment

[mlovett]

I just received the Highest compliment a maker could possibly have. Jim Merritt, The partner of Bob Loveless just ordered one of the new Full Integral Stiff Horns for Manuela and I. Jim is a master Craftsman of the highest order. He has made many Stiff Horns over the years in the Loveless shop, and could no doubt make one of these in short order. I am greatly honored to have Jim order one, and will enjoy making it for him very much. Adding to this, SR Johnson contacted me, and ask if it would be OK for him to make one for one of his customers. A master at making Stiff Horns Him Self. Manuela and I are on cloud nine. Mike and Manuela

Congrats! I can't think of a higher compliment. My problem is all these posted pics of the City Knife and Stiff Horns being posted makes it harder and harder for me to wait for my City Knife to arrive.
