Signature

I made several Signature grade mortas in 2005, more than ever previously.  But, I still had to spend a great deal of time fending off the folks who wanted to order particular shapes without really understanding that I just have very little control over what shapes these bigger mortas are - They aren't like big briar blocks that I can get a wide variety of shapes out of.  The biggest morta blocks I have are still very much "one shape" blocks - There's enough wood there to get exactly one sort of shape from it, and that's that.  In some ways it can be frustrating because I don't have total creative freedom as with briar, but in other ways it is a fun challenge, because I really have to maximize the best use possible out of what limited amout of material I have to work with.
