Very nice Ron. Is it like a bench oil tin? If so it's to nice for my bench.

Hey Ron, what a perfect example of your scrollwork .... and excellent closeup photo too (right-click, save-as).

Is this part of that huge commission?

Ron,

Just wanted to say thank-you for the opportunity to see this little oiler before you sent it out. The guy that makes these does an excellent job. If you have a chance, could you post his contact info?


also ... thank-you for the '73. I'm truly excited that you happened to have one .... now I've finally got a canvas for my project. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways!!
