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 and a holly pick I just finished last week.

Holy hell!... what a treat!... Ratyoke's around! :spinning:

Honestly, I ran out of creative adjectives long ago, attempting
to show my appreciation for your work. So I'll just say... Hi :D

Those things look fantastic. Great to see you're still at it.

I"ve been living in Taiwan about the past 2 years. Took a bit of time off from making picks and jewelry while I got a workshop set up here, but I have been making them again regularly for the past few months.
