Chris, Thank you! I nearly had heart-attack! I like how you incorporated the silver ring on the neck on one of them. Reminds me of my HJM boar. BTW I think I saw Peter's LE 2010 there. It's so exquisite my friend! Especially the two-tone Holly (?) and other wood type I don't know. Hell I like them all. Which of those are yours?
