I wasn't aware in fact she offered that service, though it is not all that surprising either. She would send the saw to Japan anyhow, I presume. <br /><br />I will find a suitable metate-ya in Japan someday soon. The maker of my saw, Miyano, died about 7 or 8 years ago, so no chance to return it to him for sharpening...<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-45403839339741483162016-11-11T20:46:26.897-05:002016-11-11T20:46:26.897-05:00Marc,

I wonder if it would be worth including a note or a drawing or two in one of the drawers or on the bottom of one of the drawers, to give an extra hint or two. Just in case the restorers need hints. I have sent several pieces out into the world with the exhortation "Restore with the next restorer in mind" pencilled in a spot that (I hope) only a restorer will see.Jim Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843031860536009146noreply@blogger.com
