    I can see your 72" HDTV in the reflection of your glasses, or maybe thats another HDTV all together.

    Those are unbelievably cool and definitely you. Think how neat it will be someday for your grandkids to find Grandpa’s old glasses. They already have allot of character, wait till they age.

    "that's it. that's all there is." That's all there needs to be, man. Awesome specs. They suit your out-of-the-woods deal!

    Nice! Do they have a hinge? Also, I think you fit the role in my head of the Uncle I Always Wanted.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Yes, they close nicely. My friend's kid calls me "Uncle Duke" because that's what we told him my name is.

    NOW you really do look like a professor!,, for real, Those are cool frames and a great story.
    That is super sweet hardwood. I had a job where i made custom pulls out of it (Cocobolo, you might see some cool detail in the grain under ultraviolet light btw.) I love the nose bridge detail being built into the frame.
    Scott is a great artisian.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    I'll keep that in mind. It would show up under "black lights" at a club, right?
  • CTD3 2 years ago
    Could happen in the cocobolo we had some minerals in the wood that flowed through it's grain and glowed in unexpected blissed out colors small bits but part of the exoticness of exotic hardwoods,, and yeah black lights, I should said black lights.
    Like your wood we had both dark darks and golden hues with iredescent golden theads in the grain with small glowing particulate that would glow. Some woods really"sparkle" under UV light.

    cool! my hub is looking for new interesting looking glasses. and the best part is that we're right here in chicago. sweeeeeeeeeet.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Cool, you could actually have Scott measure his head and everything. Scott is very precise.
  • CTD3 2 years ago
    That's cool and you'll document JoanPH?
  • loonachic plus 2 years ago
    ofcourse! i my hub will allow it. he's really shy.
  •  
  • JoanPH 2 years ago
    What a fantastic website. He is an amazing artisan. His ability to bring a vision/dream into being for others is so cool. Your glasses are so you! After all these years of wearing glasses how great is it to finally love the glasses you have to wear : )
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Pretty rad.

    I hate to bring this up but what is the price range on these gentlemanly specs? If they aren't too bad I would consider getting some of my own.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Check the website. I don't want to talk price on this page.
  • heather 2 years ago
    if you email him he can give you a broad range, however if you have an idea of what you'd want he'd be able to give you a better idea. He gave me an average.

  • i could tell that you were trying not to say "so" really hard after you went on that rampage!

    That last statement "check out the glasses" was very kevin wade. Pretty great clip overall. I also wanted you to have them in time for the wedding. I think they really suit you so well! Your whole outfit was awesome at the wedding.
