Nice work! The ebony on the Gulo is really nice. The straight lines contrast well with the sweeping blade. Happy St. Patricks Day from an O' to a Mc.

Peter, the wrought bolster on the first one is so tight that it looks like an integral. This is amazing work. Most folks have no idea what they would be getting for such a price. To be honest, I am still shaking my head at it. You are rocketing to the top of the food chain, brother... seriously.
