This is some of the prettiest desert ironwood I've ever worked with...the flash in it makes the wood appear five feet deep in places.

Mosaic pins..black very thin liners, and nice contrast damascus..3 1/2 inch blade, 7 3/4 inches overall. Filework forward of scales.

Hope you like it.

yeah...funny. In desperation, I went through the menu on the camera and saw this thing "default settings"

I pressed it,and voila, the camera started taking focused pictures again.

I think my granddaughter must have fooled with the buttons and messed up the auto settings I had in place....

Anyway, it takes great photos again.

Thanks
