I just received my order from Chris Henley. He makes custom wood and metal
tools for potters. I would just like the list to know that I have NEVER
seen workmanship of this quality. the woods he uses are incredible and his
techniques are far and beyond anything you would expect. the problem now is
that I don't want use them as they are literally works of art.

I have absolutely no connection with this man, what so ever, but just felt a
need to let other clay artist know about him.

I have photos of what he made and would be glad to email them to any one who
would like to contact me directly.

I want to second this opinion. I have a good many tools
that Chris Henley has made, and each is more beautiful than
the last. I would point out, too - I use mine all the time, and
they are just as beautiful as when I got them.

It is a good way to compliment someone though you are not having benefit from it!

Is there a website or catalogue for these tools?
