Walnut Hunter
« on: April 16, 2009, 04:06:00 AM »
My first use of brass, first through tang, first flat grind, and well...the rest is just sanding. I am REAL familiar with sanding.   :saywhat:  

 

 

 

 

I am proud of this one, my best yet.   :saywhat:       :bigsmyl:

Wow! That's nice.
One thing I ALWAYS keep in mind that I learned early on was "don't do anything before you have to."
In other words, leave everything in oversized blocks until you have the fit-up of the pieces complete, then shape the pieces.

You have reason to be proud of that Kid.  The care that's put in...always comes out!

And remember Mr. Anderson's sage advise.  You can always take more off.  Can't put anything back on.  ;~)

Gotta say too, love walnut and brass.  About as classic a look as there is for my money!

Way to go.
