I don't normally post just to say that a kit is gorgeous.
But that kit is so gorgeous. Really really really gorgeous.
Wooooa...One of the most beatiful I've ever seen, the pictures are great too. What kind of camera are you using?
I use a Canon 40D (I just have one lens yet, 28-135 mm IS usm), a great tool! but i'm not a pro photographer... I know that my pictures have some flaws( if a critic eyes look at them)
I surely take some more pics when my kit will be complete( with my snare and ride) and take the time to do a background without distracting thing, also trying to do better angle shots... but hey! that's for your eyes pleasure ... and my proud pleasure lol !!
Again thanx all for your kind words about my lovely kit, always sweet to have good comments ;-) ... if i can invite all of you to try it you'll certainly be impressed with it's sonic capacity too...

My only fear is that it would be an insult to ask Francois to wrap a kit for me.

...salut' Francis.
Every Unix kit I have seen looks as though it would be at home in the National Museum of Modern Art. I would be less anal playing on a white marine pearl wrapped kit than I would be playing on one of his satin, or high gloss kits.
When I see the art and the pride that goes into a Unix finish, I would be ashamed to ask for a wrap. I would worry that asking Francois to wrap me a mahogany kit woukd be like asking the head cheff at the Waldorf Astoria to make me a bologna sandwich.
One day I will ask though...

Unix's kits are indeed unusual and beautiful.
I look forward to the day, however, when non-ply wood construction is so common that no one would think twice about wrapping a stave kit. Objectively, a stave kit is not inherently any more or less beautiful than a ply kit; we just aren't accustomed to seeing wood displayed in the stave fashion, which makes a stave kit all the more exotic.
