I was in the process of posting the following comment to a post on Wheel Cut Glass by Tomas Tisch (the post was removed):<\/p>\n
I don’t normally comment on posts by vendors etc but this is a special case. Tomas reproduced 3 panes in our house that we needed to complete the sets in our parlor floor entrance & pocket doors (2 missing when we got our house & 1 I broke during our renovation *$&%*##!). Because he uses the same tools\/techniques used in making the originals (& knows how to use them no less), the results are outstanding \/ indistinguishable. The glass is a pleasure to look at with its play on light passing through the cut design. <\/p>\n
I did research (incl with Brownstoner) on alternatives both in terms of cheaper more approximate reproductions and also other wheel-cut glass specialists. Some alternatives would have cost less (though I feel his pricing was reasonable) but would not have matched at all \/ been very poor substitutes. I believe we are very lucky in Brooklyn (if I remember correctly the next closest alternative was in Pennsylvania somewhere) to have someone who has the skills & tools to do this dying art.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was in the process of posting the following comment to a post on Wheel Cut Glass by Tomas Tisch (the post was removed): I don’t normally comment on posts by vendors etc but this is a special case.
