Of course it's total bullshit to pay $350 for an axe. I'll put in some more irony next time. Promised. Hey Ben, that’s a very nice quote.

It has beauty, and appropriateness of form, and a 'this-is-how-it-should-be-ness.' But it has no style because it has no mistakes. Style reflects one's idiosyncrasies.
