I love those sharp points at top and bottom! They're rare to find nowadays because they're so hard to do. Mark Bear was great at them. Davis and Omori can probably be added to the mix as well, although they tend to use veneers. I don't know if the use of veneers makes it any easier or more difficult to achieve the sharp points, but it does seem that pure wood to wood sharp points are more rare than the veneers.
Congrats Larry!
