This is true GENIUS AND ARTISTRY. Makes our modern laser etched rosettes seem rather mundane... THANK YOU for posting these!Dr. Oud - 2-12-2008 at 06:02 PM
What makes the laser cut roses mundane is their machined accuracy and perfect symmetry.. Hand made roses are imperfect, and are inherently a work of
art, rather than a machined piece part. While machines can produce accuracy, they don't convey any emotion, imparted by the builder/maker/craftsman/
artist into his work. Consider me a Luddite (look it up!) but I prefer the imperfect artistry of a highly skilled craftsman to the precise output of a
machine made rose.mavrothis - 2-12-2008 at 06:54 PM
All of these pictures are just gorgeous, thanks for organizing them into one spot for us!
One thing though, I have to say that the diamond shaped inlays around the sound hole that Matthias posted blow me away. They line up exactly, even
the thinnest little lines. Really impressive what craftsmanship and patience can produce, I'm always in awe of it.
Related to your comments on the laser cut rosettes, when I was in Egypt with Mike I remember a very funny thing from the Cairo museum. We were
walking all around, taking in the amazing chiseled hieroglyphics on all sorts of stone monuments and the like. Under one truly spectacular example of
perfectly hand carved images, absolutely in perfect alignment, was a printed sign misspelled, saying something like: "Do Net Touch". I know it's not
exactly the same thing, and we were in Cairo, not London, but still, there's really something to be said about true artistic craftsmanship that with
simple tools, talent and patience can produce the most amazing works of art.
Thanks,
