Today I happened to check Jacob Powning's site as I am prone to do every so often just in case by some bizarre chance he has something available. (He never does). To my surprise I saw a note that basically says that he is no longer producing swords and that the site is a catalogue of past work only. Does anyone know what happened? Did he go off on other artistic endeavors? Did he decide to just take a day job to pay the bills and insurance? Move to Zanzibar? Some combination of all of the above? I'm pretty bummed I had always hoped to get another sword by him some day. The one I had I foolishly sold many years ago...
 
His parents own the farm and he has done some glass work with his dad Peter. His print shop is active as are his twitter and facebook accounts, albeit not posting lately. I imagine his hotmail addy is good. Generally busy raising a family? Al Massey reads here and posts every now and then. He may have some inside.

Cheers
GC
