    Aww, shucks, thanks for the warm fuzzies, guys!

    I did this way too cheap, but it could bring some future commissions. Part of the deal was that he tells no one what he paid me. And the profit goes into the slab fund for the new shop!

    J. R. asked me how many bars I had done and I told him one. He seemed amazed that this was only my second bar. "No, J. R., the next one will be my second."

    Todd, if you do any picture or mirror frames, try inlaying two different widths, widest on the outside. Creates a cool optical illusion to a flat frame.

          Nice Bar! the inlay makes it even more beautiful, Great job with the picture frame too.
          Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! -Rocky Balboa-

            Pappy, is that frame flat on front? If so, I see what you mean. Nice 3 dimensional effect. I'll have to try that. Very nice BTW, I remember seeing that a couple years ago I think.

            Thanks,
            Todd
