These are the last picks I made before I went to Korea. I'm going to be selling them soon.

beautiful work as usual

I finished this one last night.

It's not for sale.

This is not the one I posted the pic of like a month ago. That pick is still unfinished.

These remind me of some of the Celtic artwork in things like The Book of Kells. I think the picks are far too beautiful to use but would make great presentation items at picking contests or gifts for a retiring locksmith. Plus I would feel more frustrated if one of these magical beauties failed to pick a simple lock in my hands, it is not so bad when it is a HPC pick.

Like those animalitos that are running around in the fancy scrollwork.
If you put that pick down, it will just run off, its a wild one.

Is that wood for the handle? Very nice detailing indeed.

These two are being auctioned on another forum right now.

I'm still living in Korea, but I was back in the US for 12 days last month and made these picks while I was home. Handles are tulipwood.

WOW. All of your work is beautifully stunning. Can't beat a handcrafted work of art such as these. Awesome

오랜만이에요.
I'm back in the US now after 5 years in Korea and traveling most of 2016. Got back in November last year. I'm still undecided how much time/effort I will be putting into making picks; my work and current living situation don't allow me to work on them when ever I want like before. But I have made a few since returning, and started a Facebook page for my picks:

I finished these 3 around the end of last year. Woods are African blackwood, snakewood, ebony.


This is the ebony pick from the previous photo with a holly pick I made last week.
