Tyger's New Ryan Ross Bonnet

In 300 years scientists will recover a RR bonnet from an old burial ground in Georgia...

Maybe, or- from what I know- at least from some place around this globe.

Ryan is internationally recognized. Now, we just need to make sure that he is awarded so that he can say: "Internationally recognized, award-winning......"

Now, I am not making light of this. In fact, I am very serious. There is nothing wrong with achieving acclaim and well-deserved recognition, especially from ones peers.

Um, no...just saving how long your work will survive...

Just beware of people carrying shovels.

Bwahahahaha- Well played, my friend!

You're quite generous, Mark.

You, on the other hand- You do need some kind of award. I've never seen work that looked anywhere close to yours... I know you've told me that you use standard techniques, but I've still not seen anything like your buckles. Absolutely fantastic.

And your buckles stand a much better chance of long-long term survival, than my bonnets do.

Heck, if it was used continuously, one of your buckles probably wouldn't look too much different after a few hundred years than it did new. That's the truth.

Many thanks for the kind words.

The way I got into this was I wanted a buckle to go with my kilt, and I just could not part with the cash to buy what I saw on the market. Not that there is anything wrong with that........(Seinfield).

So, being a scientist and veterinarinan, I did what I knew how to do: a lot of thinking, and a little reading, then some doing. I bought some metal....and the rest is history.

It is true that these metal things don't have a worldly counterpart, and they should have a long life. No doubt they will outlive me. However, a guy could starve to death having no counterpart, and a relatively short life.
