I like the finish especially, even though I dont hit a draw well:)
Michael Fay:If the DRS was involved with the decision to hire John Fought for this effort, do you think they/you would have hired him on the basis that he had no experience with Ross work and that as you say, " it was the first restoration that John attempted"?It would seem...as long as one is competent and does their homework, that by gollie it can work and work very well. The apparent prerequisite and well earned experience by those who have done Ross work is not really necessary. Though on the other hand being smart enough to do your homework, doesn't necessarilly mean you are going to get an 'A' on your report card. One can only hope...I applaud John and his design associate/researcher for doing what sounds like fine work and look forward to other non-Ross experienced architects achieving similar results given the opportunity.
