Oh WOW!! That is beautiful.

Wow! and Beautiful! are my reactions too!

Toby and Dave - you beat me to it and took the words right out of my mouth.
 
Thanks Mica - love the inlay and forgot how beautiful the fretboard is too! Should be on the home stretch!

Leaving us today:

 Infinitely more lovely in person.  

  As I told you on the phone, this is a very emotional piece. When I even think of this inlay, it makes me get goosebumps and when I see it, it really moves me to tears. I hope you love it and I can't wait to hear your reaction when you receive it.

this may be my all time favorite alembic. absolutely beautiful.

Beyond words______.

I just got my last look at Cosmo. I wish you could all see it in person.

What a masterpiece.....

The heart shape of the the cutout underneath the inlay  . . . . very emotional.
 
Angels with fur.

Cosmo was the name of our boxer, who we dearly miss....  
 

That should be a Custom of the Month...or year....

Thanks for the positive notes everyone.  
 
Just got home to have a look - Mica's photos knocked my eyes out! . . . then . . .  moments after opening the web browser the phone rings - it's Mica with the tracking info . . . Now, see if I can hold my breath for a couple days while it's traveling here. I can't wait to see and play it. Amazing!! Thanks for the pictures Mica!! Talk to you later this week.
