Looks great, i clicked on the highlite and could see a closer view. Nice scroll work in the middle there. On a side note, everytime i see "Ron" I think its Ron Smith posting. Now i realize there are at least 3 Ron's on here. And at least one other Rick. Thats why i use my full name on any forum i belong to. Less confusing.

I think there is a "Ron", Ron P( You) and Ron Smith. I looked at your profile but i still dont know your last name. I like your work though.

Ron,

Your folders are great. This one's a beauty. You gotta snap a photo of the one I saw at your shop.

you guys are giving me more inspiration to get better at this!

I love the subtlety of the design!

Not just the inlaid scrolls with the minimal leaves but the use of the French Grey(?) finish rather than a bolder coloring. Whoever winds up owning this will spend a lot of happy time studying it, finding new treasures every now and then.

This is an interesting concept that I hadn't thought of before, I like the gold inlay with nothing else framing the concentration of scroll, Thanks for making me think outside the box.
