[TheForge] Reproductions, was PLEASE! Stop the Stupid comments

Tue Apr 30 17:03:09 2002

That is exactly what I am saying. The only person who will have any
knowledge of the process is the smith producing the work. If traditional
process/material is important to her/him, then use traditional
process/material for the pure satisfaction of doing so. Otherwise what does
it matter? You are producing a product to sell. Your client won't
know/care/understand traditional process/material, so unless it is a deeply
held philosophy, why should you?

Regards,
Donn
