Sorry! Next one goes to "Woodsmann". Have to see who I'm doing the x-mass trade with. You may be the one!

i think the handle is two pieces of wood,or one that was split. if you look close ypu can see a seam in the last pic.

  I see it now. It is hard to tell the way the grain is oriented.

   I am so glad to hear about the knife.
  I hope you get to feeling better, I have had bronchitis before. It is VERY painful when you cough. I got bronchitis when I was still smoking several years back. I just knew the Dr. was going to tell me I had lung cancer.

It's starting to get better now. a couple days ago it fealt like my right lung was trying to jump out of my chest. May be able to work on the knife this evenning. we shall see!

Finally got a day off to get some stuff finished-got mine done and boxed up-it'll go in the mail tomorrow. Hope the recipient likes it, I like the colors and the character with the hole in the blade. I knocked the blade out of a "boulder" of slag glass, handle is a piece of cholla cactus that I got from Cowboy (thanks, Paul!) with a burl maple cap on the end. There's a hole in the blade from a bubble in the glass(fun to run flakes through ). This one is 90% percussion, a little shy of 10" long overall.

hey it's Radius...

I want to apologize for being a lame-ass...i've been out of commission the last couple months, and my knives never got past the roughing-out stage...now i have no shop and i hang my head in shame for not being able to participate.  Whoever i was supposed to send to:  sorry, guys.

   Instead of hanging your head in shame you could send the half finished knives to who you owe. Just send the unfinished knives as a "you finish it" kit.

[knightd]

Hillbilly that is one of the best looking knives I've seen..

[Okie]

Dang Hillbilly, that's a beauty. The combination is great. You got my address, right?

Man I look at the work that you guys do and it never fails to amaze me just how talanted you guys are. It makes me feel embarassed to put in the bow that I put in, and then I see the talant you guys have. You guys should be very proud of your accomplishments.

Dang Steve thats purty, I got a line on where to get some slag glass but with winter closing in don't know
if I can get over there before freeze up.

[Hillbilly]

Dana, I used to be able to get big boulders of it from a rock shop near here-all different colors. The last time I was there, the guy said he wouldn't be able to get any more than what he already had. I think he said he got it from the Fenton company or something like that, and they were going out of business. It's pretty cool material to work- the texture is waxy, more like tough obsidian or good dacite than regular glass.
