Used 10 year dried beach wood lined with felt .leather wrap with brass fittings  

Holy Mackerel Chris it's going to take me half an hour to clean the drool off my keyboard. That's beautiful on all counts.

You guys are probably getting tired of hearing me say this but you need to polish your photographing skills. Diffuse lighting is the only way to photograph polished steel. There are few things harder than a long piece like that blade the reflection will kill detail every time if you don't do it right.

Outdoors on an overcast day is about the best natural light you'll get. You can work in sunlight by shading with a sheet and using a couple more sheets at different angles to reflect fill light.

Of course a pro photographer experienced with large polished pieces is a good bet but look through the portfolio don't take their word for it.

It's a shame to see such beautiful work hidden by reflected flash glare. It is NOT easy to photograph so much polished steel. I know.
