For Sale: Michael "Tinker" Pierce Irish Bastard S
This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available


I ordered this as soon as I saw it on the General Discussion Board and just received it today. It's a very nice job by Tinker and is extremely light and well balanced. It, unfortunately for me, just doesn't speak to me like I thought it would...perhaps it's just a touch too far of a deapture from the rest of my collection or my usual tastes, but I still admire the work!
