I am with you on the Lutz Hesh, it is simply beautiful stuff and the tap really does ring out loud and clear. I ordered a few sets from Shane in early September and requested that he send them surface mail because I like to toucher myself.
Well Saint Nic Neifer from High Mountain Tonewood came good for me today, the very last delivery day before Xmas, and I could not be more happy
My pressy was very well packaged, as you would expect from a vendor who carries such pride in his product.
When I examined the content I found each set displaying more silk than Santa's sleigh. The grain count is so high that it is much easier to just say it is very fine and even, rather than struggle through any attempt to count it, and a beautiful unblemished soft cream colour extends right across the plates.
Thank you so much Saint Nic Neifer for the wonderful wood, you looked after me like a brother and I really do appreciate that my friend. My only complaint is, now I have gone and opened this parcel before Xmas, anything else that the real Santa brings me is probably going to be an anti-climax.
Cheers Shane and Merry Xmas to all.
