Beautiful! Obviously a custom-crafted body. Note apparent absence of FP shutter. Now if it only had a Graflok back....

It is very pretty, but looks like venier
work rather than a new body........but it is no longer a Speed Graphic..
without the hardware.... Bert

As nice as it is, he only did things half way. I say he should have carved a new cover for the FP shutter and the Kalart rangefinder. Cocobolo would have been a good choice as it's dark but still looks like wood, unlike ebony.

Tastes differ. I didn't think it was possible to make a sow's ear out of a silk purse.
