A few recent pieces
« on: April 08, 2017, 10:04:00 AM »
Curly Oak and W2:

 

 

Cru-Forge-V and African Blackwood:
 

 

San-mai and straight grained Walnut:

 


 


And I just finished this San-mai, Ringed Gidgee and Mammoth Tooth inlay:

 

 

 

 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Those are pretty Karl. I especially like the curly oak knife. It's funny how even though they are all very pretty that one catches my eye.
