Some practice gluing up and shaping. Curly maple and bloodwood. I am really pleased how this came out! Started with a knife blank and made the handles myself. Next one gets brass pins.

That's cool hillbilly. Love seeing the talent of other people. Makes me smile. JF

I have a local place that has exotic hardwood flooring. I pick up a few pieces and wanted to see what kind of small accent or ways I could use the thinner wood in layups. Got an idea for some riser layups.
I have Bloodwood, Jatoba, Ipe, Bolivian rosewood and Morado, and some highly figured brazillian cherry.

Roy that is cool! Dabbling in Leatherwork is another hobby of mine! That would be great for getting a consistent edge bevel!

I have made several pocket quivers, armguards, side quivers etc. Some of those leather guys can do awesome things. Just like bowyers, I appreciate fine craftsmanship in about any venue.

Jeff, that is really cool. I like the turquoise. I had to Google hackberry...we don't have that around here that I know of!

The turquoise and Roy's use of "haint" brings about another idea

I have some wormy curly maple with ambrosia type accents. The worms holes around surrounded by a swirl that looks like a ghost figure.

Oddly enough, several worm holes are double right beside each. Looks like eyes.

Buddy of mine wants me to .are lams out of them and color the eyes red. Call it the "spook bow"

Thank you gang

That edge beveler is cool for sure, but I would hate to have to sharpen those blades all the time.

You making belts, or just having a belt Roy?

Pat B · « **Reply #2812 on:** November 24, 2021, 09:49:43 AM »

That is a cool edge beveling tool, Roy. I've always done it with hand bevelers.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2813 on:** November 24, 2021, 11:29:46 AM »

Flemmy boy, been 4 days since I had a belt but that's gonna change here soon:)

Ya Pat it is cool...

I could use a belt too

And I think I'll keep my back to the wall, for now

Longcruise · « **Reply #2818 on:** November 24, 2021, 02:08:59 PM »

I like that tool but I see as strictly for a high production circumstances.

Flem · « **Reply #2819 on:** November 24, 2021, 02:12:51 PM »

Makes my hands hurt thinking about all the tooling and stamping associated with those miles of belting.
