    A Beautiful New Balmoral

    ATTENTION - If you are prone to immediate, compulsive decisions, you might want to refrain from reading the following review.....


    I would like to share with the readers here on XMTS, the wonderful and talented work of our very own, room2ndfloor / Theresa!


    I recently received a Balmoral from Theresa and couldn't be more pleased. Her attention to detail, in the main body of the Balmoral, the headband, etc., were excellent. The hand done weaving was exceptional, the color wonderful and the fit, perfect. The cockade was well done, and even included a top piece made into a St Andrews cross, perfect for a badge when I place one there. The coordination, between her and Myself, was excellent in picking out color, as she said she'd like to honor my military service being a Vet of the USAF. I am beyond these few words of praise, as to her ability and talent.


    My photos are a pale attempt to capture the true beauty in this piece of fine craftsmanship and artwork. I would recommend, if you are considering a custom balmoral, to give Theresa's work a closer look and serious review. You will not be disappointed. Bless you Theresa!

    I am also looking forward to the talented work of our own Jim Fyffe on XMTS, as we are working on a balmoral project. When the time comes, I will be happy to review Jim's work, as I wait in anticipation for the completed project. God Bless Jim.
