Nice job on the knife! Hey, has that 'lectric fence ever gave you a wake-up call?
This may sound crazy,but I can't wait to slice some 'Maters with it!! I've been feeling that blade tonight and that keeps coming to mind!! Hmmmm, 'Maters!
Got me about half a dozen times last year.There's no "Juice" to it now, the horses know it's there now! Thank Goodness!!
Man if that thing had a little more hump before it drops down to the point, it would look just like a woman I know! Yeh, she's pretty sexy and so's that blade!
Now will you quit pi**'n around and get them to the heat treater, I'm die'n here! You know 2 weeks is gonna seem like 2 months waiting for them babys!
All joking aside, great work Bro!
I'm a simple man, of simple means, turned my back on the machines, to follow my dreams.
nothing crazy about that. the santoku i'm just finishing up is itching to bite into some fresh [read same hour caught] fish.

Now to finish these Babies up, and get some REAL knife pictures up, with them all dressed up and nowhere to go!! LOL The next pics they won't be "Naked". As much as I want to use my Ironwood, I haven't quite made my mind up. The Bowie will be dressed out in Lacewood, but the Nessie........... I think I just may surprise y'all.
Those are going to be great. Betcha don't sleep much tonight thinking about it. Come on admit it - you're like a kid waiting on Santa Clause.
I ain't THAT calm!!! Dottie had me go from the Mailbox straight to Bowling Green!! I haven't even stepped foot in my shop today!! Dagnabit!!! If I had some really good lights in there I would have been in there already!! I'm just waiting for GOOD Daylight!!
EDIT: I Really am in love with my Nessie!! She is Sooooo sweet!!
Can't wait to see these done.

Well I decided on which scale I will use for this project. I drilled the holes today and I will try putting it together tomorrow or Tuesday. I think I'm going with the Buckeye Burl. This is a picture of the scales.

Well to be honest I couldn't figure whether it was the Buckeye or the Redwood Burl I was going to use. The Redwood Burl looks somewhat similar to this:
