Stop you are making me blush......

Dont let Sal fool you he had a hand in that design. We are not allowed to tell you what part he designed due to trade secrets. But its a combination of Sal's pre treatment of the shell and my staining and finishing technique. That we can say. :)

Tom....
I saw those shells on one of the shelves in the background on that video (or was it still pictures) you made showing off Ron's shells, I spotted those red shells right away and loved them as soon as I saw them, I think it's just the shades of red and how they blend into each other I found very appealing.
I don't need to know any trade secrets but I do admire the work you and Sal have done, you guys are craftsmen and those are hard to come by now days in a world of machines making everything we see and buy. My hat is off to you guys and the few like you that make things by hand and take exceptional pride in what you do as do the owners of such beauty.
Sweetness to the max! :)
Take care
