Actually, It's not German. I made it.
Now, here's something to give you an idea of size.

The spine on that one is beautiful, Bill! Is that filing on the liners, I’m guessing? The colors and textures come together perfectly, there. It’s hard to look away.

The liner coining is done with a lathe knurling bit.
Thank you.

‘Liner coining,’ that’s neat. I haven’t seen it or at least haven’t noticed it anywhere before. I love how it only runs along the scales but is smooth against the bolsters. It gives a really cool effect, striking but not overboard.
