That knife is in a storefront on the Mag mile in downtown Chicago.

They are extraordinary examples of skill, but I just find them attractive.
Art, and beauty, is rather different than simple craftsmanship; no matter
how great it is.
Really?
COOL!
Where is it? Please? :-)

whate ever my customer has just walked off with leaving money behind.
I would have to say some of the boxes on this page...
Someday, I hope to be able to do something similar.

I have also seen some amazing bowls, not so much the shape but the beauty of
the wood is what made them amazing.
Generally what WOWs me, is craftsmanship. Attention to detail and form.

Oops... That should be "I just don't find them attractive". Which is
another reason I would never attempt anything like them; one goof...

Back in 1980 I saw a large wooden "Swiss Army knife" in Evansville,
IN.
It was about 4 feet long in the handle and made of a variety of woods.
The smooth lines, perfect edges, and subtly contrasting colors and
textures have always stuck in my mind.
I'd like to know where that piece ended up...
