OLDNICKILBY Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If there is enough demand then ,having spoken to David ,we will organise the Gold Blocking Dies for both Lachenals and with Steve Dickinsons agreement for Wheatstones . So folks if you are interested speak now and we will see what we can organise. I think that this is a great opportunity to get this sorted as I feel that the decorated straps give a great visual lift to the tina as well as greatly improving the playing ability of the owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even better, with the mark of their actual maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDNICKILBY Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Not in the case of Wheatstone Straps as they will be Steve Dickinsons, but as usual a valid point Jim ( Now there was an interesting typo, it came out as" vlad point") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concertina equivalent of "go faster stripes" . Serious point though, they do look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
