Frank Turley Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sorry to hear, and condolences. Seems like only yesterday, but it was in 1999, that I visited his shop and spent a brief time with Ivan. As I recall, he was working on some bossed-up fish forms...a truly talented smith.

HWooldridge Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 A great smith along the lines of F. Whitaker. I only met him once but was deeply impressed by his skill and knowledge. RIP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
