Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio  :'(

Congrats - those look like absolute beauties. Blue Angle's bespoke carts seem to be true masterpieces.

@ Xenithon,

I have a snakewood Mantis - they are works of art - and they sound stunning.

@ Eniac - welcome to the club - hope you will enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

Very very nice! Is "Chelonia" a new model? Others appear to have been known by the same model name; only body materials were different. And what is that material?

I believe it is the same model (Mantis) made of different material. Though, IIRC, some changes/improvements have been made over the original Mantis which will be used in all future Mantii.

"Bullion circle" actually... ;) anyways, equally uninspiring.. (I like my carts with a bit of zest, but not too cold)
