Title: Blades and a Newnan
Post by: Stringman on August 21, 2016, 10:57:30 am

I sat down this weekend with some time at the bench. Just got a new load of Georgetown and a few other pieces and I was excited to see how they worked. After turning out a few rough blades I took a smaller piece and made a little Newnan. Gotta kinda thin on me and I had trouble cleaning it up, so you only get to see the "A" side.  ;)

Nice stuff there Scott looks like some high quality blades and point from some nice material. The "A" side looks really nice as good as the center line is and as thin as it is I'm thinking the B side can't be all that bad.

Great stone in the hands of a craftsman like you produces beautiful and deadly pieces.
