Your handles are beautiful. I’ve been looking at the images over the last few days and thinking about hi-gloss vs matt finishes and after consideration I am partial to the hi-gloss polished finish over the matt. While the matt is cool and can work well in certain colours like terra cotta, the hi-gloss polish is amazingly beautiful. I couldn’t imagine a matt oscuro.  What can I say? I like shiny things.  Big Grin

Thanks Mark. I appreciate your interest in my work.

On the subject of matte vs polished;

There seems to be a market for matte/satin finished handles, but the majority of people that buy Trotter handles want a high polish.

In my opinion, a matte/satin finish works well with many solid-color pours, but most of the multi-color pours (like the Oscuro-series), where you want depth and color separation and unique swirling, look much better polished.

I agree that the new coin is nice, and it has the cool vintage vibe, although I miss seeing "Trotter Handcrafts".
