Payback
« on: December 08, 2011, 05:07:00 AM »
I stopped in at the local lumber mill to check out some bow wood and the man really hooked me up.  When I asked him how much for the wood, he said not to worry about it.  I figured the best I could do is give him a knife out of some the wood he gave me.  I ended up making one for him and one for his sawyer who also gave me some really nice osage and walnut in the past.
  The first knife is walnut crotch with cherry burl and the second is walnut crotch with osage.
The only thing left to do is polish up the blades and  make the sheath.
  Thank you all for your help and thanks for looking!

Boy, that walnut/cherry handle is a beautiful combination!  Very early American in style!
