This thread is turning out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I love that little jumper. Very nice work.
Kevin,
I had thought Tony's points were spliced as well, but since starting this thread, I now feel the same way you do. And after seeing some of the late, great Edwin Reyes' work, and also seeing the tools he used, I certainly would not say that it is impossible Tony is doing those meticulous inlays by hand. It would certainly justify the price.(Not that the price needs justified at all. If I had the money, I would buy every Black Boar I could.)
This is all super cool to me. I know I'm a geek, but this stuff really interests me. Thanks everyone. Keep it coming if anyone else has anything else to add.
