Hi Tom, I just got in some cp titanium. Commercially pure. It seems to cut like a dream. I could send you a pc if you would like to try it. Im sure you would love it compared to the alloyed version you just cut.

Thank You so very much for sharing your kwnelodge and skills !!!!!Your work is very impressive and inspiring. I have always hoped that I could do some small carvings when I retire in a few years, and Netsuke have always been a form of carving that I admire and seem to have some type of connection with. Thank you again for Your kindness in sharing these skills with others. Mike

I think it is wonderfull you made this e-book. I am working in a specialised toolshop and are working to introduce this craft in Holland ( cos I like it myself too ) and this e-book is helping me to answer question in the shop.
I know you have put a lot of energy and effort to make this book, it is very diverse, so thank you very very much.

Glad you like it, Mike. I hope it helps! I will warn you, however, that when you retire you’ll find out you don’t get your weekends off anymore…;-)
