RE: A Postcard from Singapore
That must be an Artistic grade plinth IMO, these are the high end of the CH range. And of course a tad dearer, but my my that is one drop dead gorgeous Sondek there. I love the ear candy bit too Peter.
brings to mind the old Shakespeare quote " If music be the food of love "

The combination of Artistic plinth, Khan and now the awesome Z-foil , have brought on some serious ear candy here too. My ears must be putting on weight methinks.
And then there is the soon to be Skale................................jeez I think I just died and went to heaven.

Are you sure now Eddie, or have you just had a minor reincarnation!

Kind regards,

Each to their own, but both SWMBO and myself wouldn't let that plinth in the house

Don't feel too bad, blackmass. While it is stunning, I have seen even better looking Cocobolo plinths from Chris. It might take a while but more will come - a photo he posted a while back showed a fair number of plinths still yet to be finished and there were some true stunners in the group.

RE: A Postcard from Singapore
Its all in the eyes of the beholder as they say, and once seen in the flesh, most people would agree that mere photographs (my photographs) don't always capture the full beauty of these plinths - I'd better see about getting some lessons from CountD.
