One a treasure hunt and one an artistic treasure. Reminds me of a Gecko bowl we once owned, wood is even better. Time to think up your next project.

I've read all the Lee Child books and I like those about snipers. Nick Petrie books are really good but need to be read in order. Same with Barry Eisler about a hit man. These are even better than Childs books. Tom Cruise should not have played Reacher but the guy in the streaming series is doing a good job and looks the part. I like the eagle. I like all your projects a lot.
