I will post more shots soon, but here's my new Gannon I got last week. Absolutely in love with it. His block must be a longer oval, because it fits like a glove. The quality is phenomenal.

The crown is VERY high too, I bashed a diamond into it at around 11cm in the front and 9 in the back. Bashes very nice and lumpy :)

Pecan Beaver, 2.25 brim.

Delicious lid! Great choice!

Another killer lid, KY! I'm getting anxious - I should be coming up soon...
Thanks. But I was expecting either you or Bob to pursue my comment about champagne altering my color perception. You guys must be slipping. :)

I think Michael may be a little behind on his orders; of course, it doesn't help when jackasses like me make alterations at the 11th hour. But I always look forward to seeing Mr. Gannon's latest achievements posted here.

Well just got some emails from Michael regarding my reddish Black Cherry, first time I doubt on choosing the ribbon.

Ended up with 2 options 2"Black, with burgundy brim bind or 1 3/4" Burgundy with Burgundy binded brim.

My doubt is that indoors it might seem that the Burgundy looks nicer and gives better contrasts, but under natural Light it is the opposite...

Any feedback?

First indoors.

I have a real strong bias for the tone on tone. Not a big fan of a lot of contrast between ribbon and felt. Think the burgundy on burgundy is uber classy.

Chamuco, congrats , that's going to look so sharp! Will you get the brim bound with the same ribbon? Or leave it raw?

Rodolfo: I also think you made the right choice. I think the burgundy looks good indoors and out. And, hey: the ribbon is one of the easiest things to change if you decide you don't like it.
