OK Buddy I'm in. By the way, I have a pretty big pc of that handle mat.if you want it . I think it's a speckelly gray, I'm not sure. It was given to me a couple yrs ago, I tried to run a pc through my planer and---I don't like it any more. Jerry

OK Murph, IF you promise to kill it. Jerry

Ain't NOTHING to pick on there; THAT'S NICE! Jerry

Murph, Original and Ironwolf, Thanks for your comments and glad that you like the knives. Too bad they have to be killed. This is a new steel to me[ 1075-80] with interupted quench. I don't KNOW what they will do, so I cain't sell them or give them to anyone. But sure was fun, Now it's...

Thanks murph for posting that. Just need to say, Both of those blades are 1075/80 from admiral 1/8 thick both has brass fittings. The one in the back has some kind of burl that I got off ebay and it was bright green. I soaked it in walnut flavored danish oil and that did the trick...

Ironwolf; I am reluctant to say this because I know that every body is going to jump on me. I have been a carpenter all my life ,framing, cabinets,custom furn, trim, and now custom trim in those million $ homes, Every kind of dust you can think of. And I have never owned a face mask. Now , when...

Kelly, sounds like you have been bowed up all afternoon, younger people can do that. But that is still very good progress, hope they all sell for you. About the wood--I think I like that thuya burl too. BUT I like D I too. Let me look around and see if I can find that big chunk and see just...

OK It's done--close enough for pictures--I still need to take a few scratches and such. That wood does load paper and belts real quick, but other than that it's bout like cocobola or any other rosewood. Just a nice smell while you working. I got side tracked by supper is what took so...

Yea and Amen-- LOOK"S GREAT Those little sharp fingers are nice to skin with, Doing great bud, keep it up. For the longest time, I used wood stain on leather and still do on occasion . Jerry

Stew , Rex-- Thanks for the quick replies. I just polished out a great hamon in a 4" DP hunter and it is ready for scales so I think I will try out this wood and see how it works. Will let ya'll know in a couple hrs. PLEASE don't let this stop other input on this because one handle will...

Can somebody tell me how to finish thuya burl, and how it will work on a skinning knife? I have a pretty big block, had it now for about 2 years and never used it. Yesterday, a customer picked it for his skinner [very, very uuugly knife].I googled it and didn't like some of the things I...

Not too long ago, One morning I drew, cut out,and ground the bevels on a blade. then put it down and went inside,about 25 ft, and poured a cup, came back and could NOT find the blade that I was working on. I had to start all over with another one. About a month later I found it in a...

My middle son said one morning, that he would like to be a dog for one day. And I told him "that's the day that I would Worm him"

If it was me.[again] I would pack my knife making stuff, because there is NOTHING to do. Good luck and hurry back Bud. Jerry

Hay Keith, I always here, haven't worked in 'bout 2 months. Don't wont to work any more, I know that I will have to in the next year because of Wal-Mart, But next March, I'll turn 65 and THAT"S IT. I usually don't sign in or say anything, but I'M HERE. Jerry

Rex, I'm further South than you but it still would get real hot there in the summer. I have a 8x12 wooden storage shed and I put green wood in the attic of the shed for the summer and that is all it takes. Over sized blocks, I wrap real good in brown paper bag paper and put them up there...

Yeah, My chuck key has on of those auto-eject gismoles on it.

Murph, Do you want me to pick it up for you? I promise I wont cut anything or test it out or anything [sort of] Jerry

Keith, I was looking at the pictures and I think I saw my name in that blade, real faint but it is there. You're doing a good job, keep it up. Jerry If you need wood let me know

I have been using Pops 5 min ever since he got his own brand. The only trouble I ever had was when I had to take a set of scales off. Had to freeze them for about a week. Jerry
