I've been telling you guys that Rob Miller is a talent to be reckoned with. I warned you to get your orders in now. If any of you have any doubts...
This is coming my way. A full review and some other goodies to follow.

Wow... that one is a real winner. Beautiful sword. Unfortunately, as I think I've mentioned a couple hundred times (must be on my mind when I see pics like this, I guess... ) I don't have any money to spare... So I *can't* get an order in... Wahhhhhhh... Really, the work looks fantastic and I'm envious...

Looks good in the picture.
Can't wait to hear the first hand report.

Thanks guys. Rob's the one that deserves all the congratulations it looks absolutely outstanding from here. I don't know about having frozen over Thomas but old pointy tail is shaking his head and the mercury is dropping.

Hi Henrik, actually I worked out a swap with Rob for this particular piece. However if you want to get a price quote I'm sure he would be happy to give you one. He's a very friendly and communicative guy.

Brilliant!! Beautiful blade! If only I had money to spare also. Got about 14 more weeks to wait on my Armour Class Mortuary. 
Can't wait to see the review on your basket beauty.

Russ, the baskethilt is so beautiful that I may have to broaden my eras of interest. Meanwhile, whence the shield?

I'm not normally a fan of baskethilts but that piece is glorious! Most of Rob Miller's work have some sort of magic feel to them. They remind you of Excalibur and misty celtic forests. You can almost smell the fresh air and the spirit of the land.
