This case came out simply wonderful. I REALLY like the tooling of the leaves and nuts. You did perfect work, and the overall case looks to be an heirloom.
WOW! Came out fantastic. Very nice. :thumbup:
The color combination worked out really well on this beauty.
Your workmanship is second to none as far as I can tell.
I like to nitpick. My biggest problem with Al's work is that I could not find anything wrong with it.
I am a huge fan of things that are truly well built. Al, you certainly had my respect before I got the chance to hold your work. Now, I would be glad to apprentice under you.
Thanks for putting up the finished pics...that looks OUTSTANDING!
Now...I have to admit when I read "something new" and saw the first pictures of only pieces, I thought you were about to start selling "Do-It-Yourself" Case Kits!!! (Just kidding...but that thought did pop into my mind!)
Al, I know for a fact you're one of the "good guys"!!! Thanks again for sharing!!!
