Nice Tsuba Stephen.. Theme of Autumn perhaps with the (Maple?) leaf falling to the ground and the Mushrooms out with the early rains?

That is a great one stephen!

[Stephen]

Tsuka it will be mounted with, also with a fall theme.

did some repair work to the  mekugi ana

[Ed]

Nice. I like the Tsuba and fittings.  Should make a beautiful koshirae.  What blade are you mounting it on ?

[Stephen]

Thanks Ed, oh just some POS thats at  polish now, ill show ya when its done brother. Need to send to sayaashi as well, looking for metal kurikata with design if one comes along.

[Teimei]

I hab already an eye on that tsuba, but i am glad that it found a good home and a very nice koshirae to complete it!

 

Regards,

[Stephen]

here we go again with Chicago Customs, been there four days!

[jlawson]

Had the same issue FYI. Held up for 7 days but finally got it today. I hate the black hole that it goes into where there are no status updates online for several days. Makes me itchy that something has gone wrong every time. 

[Stephen]

I know the feeling James, my mind races with packages going home in someones backpack. On with the waiting game, whole puchase started out  wrong, AoiArt sent the wrong tsuba and stopped at Int postoffice, dont know how they did that but it never came, i know i  couldn't  do that if i called PO here and said return shipping number._#####

[Stephen]

wanted to wait until in hand but does anyone think its missing inlay at mushroom base?...did not catch until after shipped and cant tell for sure from photos.

[Stephen]

Our great PO at work, not a scan after leaving Customs, got a tan slip in door while i was gone. ..tried to deliver....luckily i have a good carrier and have his number,  hes bringing it back. No takes  on last photo? missing something??...ill know in a few.

[Kai-Gunto]

I think the mushroom is okay.

[Brian]

Me too.
