Sorry, double post. But since I am editing it, I do want to emphasize that Scott uses only the finest materials and uses great skill and craftsmanship to create traditional products that are better than anything I have ever seen like them. He draws from the almost lost arts of the masters of the past, just as many of the folks here on TradGang do, including bowyers, knife makers, leather craftsmen, clothing makers, and others. It is wonderful to know that a small group of master craftsmen are still around in this day of mass-produced products from China, Indonesia, and other distant lands. And for the quality of what they produce, guys like Scott are far underpaid and provide value way beyond the prices they charge!! I could list a bunch of TradGang master craftsmen who fall into that group, but this is written to spotlight Scott, who well deserves all the praise he receives!
