I like! Really nice job on that, Curt!
Love that first pic with the sky in the background.
You got some great color out of that. I need to get more precise with my heat treating
instead of just seeing what it will do overnight in the woodstove.

  THANKS for all the kind words,,,,,,Joe over on PP some body was talking about cooking it to 930 F and some of what I had cut on the half's and cook to 650 was a little tough for FOG so I recooked it at 930 and it slicked up very nice.....I bought a old pottery kiln and made a controller out of parts from ebay....

bone/mullet how things in Fla.

thats cool piper.
 If i knock out some gezan blanks could i send them to you for grinding?
On a trade or something? I don't know how hard it is to grind but I'd like to make some gezan ripple flaked blades.
