Since ol' Chert's hand bones are looking a lot better than mine for the next few weeks, I'm going to have to postpone any projects not yet completed until my hand is functional again, which should be sometime in February. I apologize for any inconvenience, but as of now, there's nothing to do but grow back together.

From the ancient ocean beds that lie under our beloved Pickwick Lake, I am finally ready to offer something I've been working on for awhile now. Harvested only from the lakeshores of Eastport, Mississippi, I would like to offer my new and exclusive line of Pickwick Stone. Set your summertime memories in stone and get your own piece of Eastport to wear year-round. Contact me to start your own custom slice of paradise.
