I've gotten some movement on a project, I'm pleased with the outcome. Here is the only pic I took of it before handing it off to have a sheath made for it, but hopefully you get the idea! More to come..
Troy, Your shop looks great! I can't wait to come up and check it out! __________________ AT "We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends." Shel Silverstein |

My first attempt at anything leather !!
It was our 25th anniversary and I got her a fine silver pen. It did not come with any type of carrying case. (You would think anything THAT expensive, it would have at least a pouch with it). I told her I wanted to make her one. Studied up on stitching, knowing that my sheath making days are coming, my first stitched product. [IMG][/IMG] And her silver (well, looks silver) paring knife that she has been wanting for a year now. [IMG][/IMG] |

Met a guy this week that was a sales rep for Buck knives for 40 years. He took me to his
home and showed me his collection ... HOLY **** !!!! Never seen soooo many knives in one room. His room was 30'x50' stacked 6 shelves high, all hanging, and NOT a space inbetween. We hit it off pretty good. He took me to his barns and showed me all the wood that he has for rehandling Buck knives. Amazing. He said he had approx. 30,000 board feet of lumber that has all been kiln dried and stacked for over 15 years. As I was leaving, still breathless, he ask if I want some of his wood to take home and try ... well ... I guess This batch is burl birch oak and is the heaviest wood I have ever held. The bottom pieces are burl black walnut. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] The then gave me these beautiful boards of black walnut: He told me when I use these all up, stop back by to talk shop and pick out some more !!! What a great month for wood !!! |

The new addition to my shop. Been watching Craigslist for a couple of months for a score.
Score came today. Called the guy to see how fast he wanted to sell it. Found out it was his friends and he just wanted it out of his garage after sitting there for a year. Too embarrassed to say how much I didn't pay him ... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] Cut my first set of scales from the birch oak given to me last week: [IMG][/IMG] |
