I'll second that...altho as simple as my arms are, I might one day try my hand at it.  But then, as Sir Edward said, it is relatively inexpensive considering the amount of time and attention that is put to it.

How long was the turnaround time, if you don't mind me asking?

For me, it was 4 weeks and one day from the time I placed my order til it arrived on my doorstep.  Fantastic, if you ask me.

A month sounds about right, I don't remember it being overnight but it wasn't excessively long either.

The attention to detail is really good as well.  My Coat of Arms isn't the most hand-painting friendly design because of the tiny teeth, claws and tongue that are a different color than everything else.  Dirk and Arrow nailed it though.  I would have been willing to wait much longer for the same level of quality.  They do a bang-up job, and they keep you up to date with updates and photos, and they get your approval at each step before moving forward.

That is truly a thing of beauty Lord Dane, definitely carry that with pride.
