After seeing Doug earn his JS rating at the ABS Show in Atlanta this past spring, I requested (begged is more like it) to get one of his first JS stamped creations. What a beauty it is too Damascus blade with sheep horn handle hidden tang hunter. It even came with my initials on the blade...JS!
Most know Doug is my first teacher. So as a good student, I needed to take it apart to see how he did the hidden tang Well my digital x ray did it neatly. Thought ya'll might like to see...Doc

Wow that is beautiful! I can't wait mine is done and will be here soon. He sent me pics the other day. I can't post or I'd share. Thanks for the x-ray Doc. Always wondered about that.

Congrats Jeff, very cool blade. I know someone who owes you a sheath if it didn't come with one. RS

Steve O, We take Xrays of common objects to show kids groups that tour our clinic. We'll show Xrays of dogs & cats then show a couple of everyday things from around the house. It's always fun to hear their guesses on what the objects are
I'll take a bow bolt bow into the clinic next week. Right now we are in shut down mode with a N'oreaster pounding Boston.
Roughcountry, I have two versions of your blade made up but never handled them cause I go into shut down mode come Salmon & Deer season. Should be opening up forge soon...errr maybe after Hog season in Aiken Doc

That's a beauty from Doug, Jeff. Way to go. And having your initials on it is a real bonus!
