      To save embarrassment, the guilty party will not be named.

      Out of the blue, I received this Kanreki gift.

      Black walnut aged for 10 years before being worked.  From The Yamagata Prefecture in Japan.

      I have a particular fondness for turned wood.  These pieces simply defy belief, the quality of the workmanship is simply outstanding.

      As with so many things Japanese, these pieces take mere function and transform them into art.

      I am entralled and humbled in equal measure.

      Thank you….

              I actually put "turned" in that sentence to make it less risky that someone did what you just did… 😉 😉 😉

                        ^^well played.

                        the argument can also be made that Giles is a sick fucker himself for having the imagination to forsee a dick joke on the horizon.

                            the prosecution rests.

                              Giles, my old man (who you met briefly a couple of years ago) is a wood turner. I'll show him these, he'll be very interested.

                                  I think we are all sick fuckers.  First thing that popped into my head when I read this post a wood/dick reference joke.

                                  beautiful pieces though.
