Engraved Lynch set
Hi folks,
I have just updated Kirk Lynch's web site with some pictures of an engraved full set. All of the engraving was done by hand by Gil Hocker (who also happens to own the set) over the past 10 years. The mainstock ferrule alone took 400 hours. The cup is the last remaining piece to be engraved.
Here's the link

Take the engraved set link, the images may load slowly on a dial up connection, but they are worth it.

Wow !!!
Amazingly beautiful, never seen anything like it!
I looked through the photos over and over again. I’m speechless, don’t know what to say.
Wow!
Thanks for posting.

That's an understatement. It's by far the most beautifully detailed workmanship I've seen.
...as they say in California, "awesome dude, totally awesome"

I decided to tinker...as you know I am wont to do. I took the closeup images of the double cord knot, the reg keys, and the other smaller knot and pasted them into a paint program. I traced the black and eliminated everything else. I then fitted them together to make strips (not for the keys, though, those were complete images). Printed them on clear address labels. Trimmed. Put a coat of clear nailpolish over the ink. Applied to the appropriate places on my set and >pouf< from two feet away you almost can't tell the difference. From four feet away you definitely can't tell the difference. Something to try...took about an hour...

WOW! What a beautiful set! I haven't seen a set that great since I saw Felix Dorans silver set. I wonder how much that would cost??
