I hope everyone is doing great during the height of the summer season. This will be just a quick update with some news on the current runs in progress and some adjusted timelines for the next couple of runs. I had hoped to have some photos for all but will do another update in a couple of days for just that. I have been working on some new techniques for the engraving which have been tricky with the heat. My hours have been shuffled a bit in the shop and now the goal is to avoid the highest temperatures during the day, but I should be able to get the engravings filled in hopefully with success shortly.
My health continues to be a focus for me as the summer rolls on, and I’m sure for many of you as well for a variety of individual reasons. I continue to wish everyone the very best of health in both mind and body during this health crisis which seems to be not over yet. I have been taking some precautions over the past few weeks since my last post, and had some minor issues but nothing serious. I might have bounced back a little too fast, but my condition from early in the year still hasn’t returned. I am a little behind on emails however, as I did spend some days out of the shop here and there as was needed, so I will catch up on those in a bit and do regret the slow responses.
April Run
The April Run is going to be shipping starting next week. The brushes on this run are looking fantastic and I’m excited to finally showcase them hopefully very soon. The finishing stages have been very successful with some great results. I will get in touch with everyone individually as well.
May and June
A revised time frame for this run is going to be around mid-August. I have been working on the casting process of the material but as soon as the handles take shape I will have updates for everyone individually.
July and August
For the July Run I am anticipating starting to take orders around mid-August. I will be sending out emails to those on this run to let them know of the revised schedule. The August Run will probably get shuffled to the end of said month, but I should know with more certainty in a couple of weeks. I will get in touch with everyone as is necessary.
As I mentioned I will have an addendum of sorts with some photos when I have them ready and will catch up on emails as well. Thanks, everybody.
