THAT is sooo kewl.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

again Ryan, great workmanship. If they kick you out of medical school you will have a trade to go into!

I've never made anything out of wood that looked anywhere near as smooth and flawless as that sword. I got to check that out at Elm Hall too, awesome work Ryan and looks even better with the finish now.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

That is one of the coolest things I have seen made out of wood. I saw it at Elm Hall first hand and you really need to see it first hand to get a true appreciation for it. Nice job Ryan.

So so so so so cool. Wow, that is some really nice wood working.

I also got to see it at Elm Hall. Great craftsmanship, the walnut plaque makes it stand out. Again, good job Ryan.
