Thanks Gary. Yeah it kept me down in the shop for a bit. As for being a masterpiece ? Well I don't know about that. It is the best I've done so far, but I don't think any maker can truly say that this last piece is the best of his / her work. In my mind anyway always striving to do that little bit more.

Thank you Kevin, I wasn't to sure about the tsuba as I was making it, but I reckon it makes the whole thing pop. Got a couple on the go ( well a start at least) at the moment and will post em up when I'm done. Thanks again.
Cheers Keith
