Hi Fred,

Who wouldn`t take advantage of that circumstance? It clearly was an experience that you shall never forget and will undoubtedly lean on the skills you have learnt for years and years to come. As a Design and Technology Teacher, it is probably the most rewarding aspect of my job, to ‘send’ my students off on their journeys with memories of my teachings. Learnings that will stay with them forever and then onto develop their own style and signature. It is also hoped that in turn, their memories of me, also.

I certainly remember all the teachings of my ‘Master’ craftsman ‘George’

Congratulations on second place, that’s some accolade to be proud of. And what a beautiful piece. It looks like white oak (Quercus alba) with some beautiful medullary lines. The feet are interesting also. But those handles! wow… do they form a complete oriental symbol when all three are combined vertically? it certainly looks that way. Ebony, by any chance.

A beautiful piece, Fred.
