Avatar help? Here you go...!


Guys,

I *sometimes* know when to draw on a pro when I struggle with something. Wanting to do a better job with my own avatar, I called upon the best in the biz--PhilL (Phil LaBarbera). His creations are in high regard from a BUNCH of top knifemakers and other forumites (but not necessarily on the CKD).
