Yep, bottom line is if the customer is happy that's all that matters.
One of my earliest experiences in the antique car restoration game was helping my Gramps in his shop where he specialized in turn of the century steam automobiles. One day, 50+ years ago he put me to work on the lathe making walnut handles for use on an 1898 Malden, to a drawing he sketched. The next day he had me standing over a sauce pan of linseed oil on low heat from a hot plate all day, ebonizing those walnut handles. When dried and polished on a muslin wheel they were very black and very elegant looking.
(That car resides in a transportation museum in Istanbul now. Google "1898 Malden steam car" and it'll turn up front and center in "images"- the red horseless carriage.)
