Nice job Barry! Hard to find folks nowadays who are capable (and willing) to work MOP. Hope you have the necessary respiratory protection gear.

Fantastic job, Barry. And adding MOP to your product line will pay off for you.

Absolutely lovely work! ::tu:: ::tu:: (I would be afraid of ruining the pearl slabs, and the dire warnings about the dust from working with that stuff don't help either.)

Besides being a great job on the instillation, you chose very nice MOP with great fire, AND you pinned it also!
You knocked that one clean out of the park! Congratulations my friend on an excellent piece of work!

Absolutely beautiful!

Deep down I think pearl is my favorite handle material for a slip joint traditional.

I kick myself for not buying them way back when some of the US makers were offering the material.

Thank you for the pictures!!
