Ector was rough and intimidating, but he also excelled at fine craftsmanship and intricate ornamentation.

@

I found out he didn't just take jobs from other villages in southwest Britain.

@
|

He also occasionally got special orders from big cities like Salisbury, Oxford, and even as far-off as Manchester.
