Sometimes the customer knows best

[Ron Bontz]

I don't generally use customer supplied wood, as it may or may not be properly dried, but sometimes the customer comes up with some nifty looking stuff. This case; Curly Ambrosia Maple.
12" dovetail: 12" x 2" x 0.020" canted, 16ppi x 10* rake x 0* fleam
12" small carcass:12" x 3" x 0.025", 13ppi x 12.5* rake x 12.5* fleam ( splitting hairs a bit )
14" sash /large carcass: 14" x 3.5" x 0.025", 12ppi x 15* rake x 20* fleam
16" Tenon:16" x 4" x 0.032", 11ppi x 10* rake x 0* fleam

That is a beautiful set of saws.

Beautiful variation to your quality saws Ron. Inspiring to say the least. Someday I will save enough money for one of your functional art pieces. I have always believed that beauty and quality inspire the same.

Hi Lowell.
To fill the order or do the order. :) Last spring and summer were; well not so much fun. Hand infections, and other health issues took their toll and I wound up way behind. That's why I stopped taking custom orders for a while. Better to loose the business at the start than to have unhappy folks. The kind gentleman ordered them in Feb. or Mar. So a long awaited arrival. He knew in advance as I do stay in contact with folks along the way. My daily/ nightly routine. Sometimes wee hours of the morning. Fortunately I have pretty much climbed out of that hole. As always, one man show in a three ring circus.

[Chris Hachet]

[Ron Bontz]

Always good to hear, Chris.
Best wishes,
Ron
