Sorry we couldn't help you out with that. It would be a violation of our agreement with Bowen Designs to offer the original for sale. Our contract states that all remnants of the project(including the original) are the property of BD. The only reason we had it displayed at the show was because our copies of the factory piece have not shipped from BD yet.

You did get to hold the original though and see it in person... How many JoH fans can say that?:thumbs2:
