Whip those are really beautiful! I am guessing you cut the scales at an angle so the grain shows more? Awesome!

I'm still excited every time I read this thread...

Whip,

They are looking great.

Oh boy those are looking good.

Whip, thats some fine work you are doing. Cool to see and inside look at the scale installation.

Thanks for sharing.

Those look fantastic Whip. Thanks so much for the pics, like others I get excited all over again every time I read this especially when new pics are posted.

That G10 is fantastic. SWEET!

Zeke,
I put them on flat and then sand and file them down angling to the front to bring out the grain in them. I really love the pattern they make.

Zbearclaw · « **Reply #86 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:39:00 PM »

Gotcha. The pics make it hard to see that there is enough angle to show that much pattern. I have always loved that gray actionwood. Had wanted a gray widow for a few decades since I saw my first. Beautiful pattern for sure.

I'll bloody mine as often as possible! May even get blood on it that isn't mine!

Awesome stuff guys.

Well, I know I have seriously procrastinated on the completion of this project. Bur really, I didn't expect this.

Yesterday I received a phone call from Larry Surtees. He said he was on his way to Wisconsin all the way from Florida to personally pick up the Twisters that I have been working on. Talk about putting the pressure on!

Actually, Larry was really coming through WI to visit his grandson Justin, and is going to continue from here next week all the way to Washington to deliver a truck to grandson Christopher. Today they stopped up for a visit, and in the process we finished up three more Twisters.

We pressed Justin into action doing the final sanding on the scales. I polished them up, and now they are with Larry for the final step in the process when he will custom craft a sheath for each of them.

Justin is now officially a member of Team Twister, and added his skills to the final finish of this set of knives.

Great job guys,glad to see Dustin has joined the group.

ArcticArcher · « **Reply #89 on:** July 23, 2011, 07:28:00 PM »

Those look great. I'm going to take a wild guess that Dustin is in the 13-15 year range. My son Dakota has the same expression when he's really excited about things. LOL Welcome aboard Dustin

Dustin, I'm sure glad you joined the team. We need all the help we can get

Larry, You look a little less formal than the last time I saw you in your Bear Huntin' Outfit. Have a safe & enjoyable time going across country to see Christopher.

Whip, I'll see in a couple days over some peach refreshments...I hope!

Oppps!! Apparently my hearing is on par with Doc's - Larry's grandson's name is Justin, not Dustin!

I corrected it on my post with the pictures from yesterday. Welcome to the Twister Team J!

Thank you very much for getting involved in this Justin, can't wait to see which knives get drawn by who, and then for some action photos of the knives with some freshly arrowed animals. I'm thinking we outta be getting close to name drawing time? Man those knives look awesome...all of them.

One question that may show my ignorance...but then that wouldn't be a first

what exactly is G10? If it looks in person anything like it looks on the pic's I've been drooling over on the monitor...I REALLY like it!

Travis

Hey Travis.
G10 is a resin impregnated, fiber matting. It's commonly used for circuit boards & electrical resistors. It's completely inert, water proof, oil & heat resistant and practically bullet proof! It can be drilled, filed, sanded, polished, tapped, turned & milled. It is impact resistant, doesn't shrink, warp or swell. It increases your libido, makes you more attractive, increases the value of your house, mows the lawn, wakes you up with a cup of coffee and smells like warm cinnamon.

Looks pretty too!

House · « **Reply #97 on:** July 26, 2011, 09:33:00 PM »

Thanks for the all the great info Rob. Now I really want one of the knives with that G10. I was hoping that it also lured in 6 point bull elk within 15 yards everytime...but I guess one material can't do it all!!! You definately have a way with words Rob! I loved it when Biggie referred to you as having a face full of fishing tackle and you put it in your signature line...priceless!
