Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Happy New year

It has been a while since I have posted any thing. This is one I've been thinking about for a long time. I finally got around to just getting my butt in gear and doing it. Just in time for the Great Basin Art and Cowboy Gear show. Radial Pattern Damascus Frame Handle of twist...

Bruce, With all the WIP pictures. You make it feel like we're right in the shop with you. You are tougher than most to forge Damascus in the summer heat. :biggrin:

Thanks Bruce I'm not really one to procrastinate. I do find myself doing that more as I get older. Another one of the BB's

I will be taking about 7 to 8 pieces to the MKA this year. Here is just a small sample. First up is W2 bowie with Blackwood. Twist damascus guard and nickel ferrel both fluted. This is the first time forging W2 for me. "Will be seeing more in the future". Second up is a Koa hunter /copper...

Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts. God Bless

Since taking Ed Caffrey's liner lock folder class last winter. I have been making a few for the family. I had a little bit of boldness to try a little bit of a challenge. I had a nice piece of W's billet left over from cooler weather. I wanted to try some bolsters and Jigged bone for scales...

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. It really means a lot to me coming from makers I admire. I don't say that lightly. Most everyone here has inspired me one way or another. J. Doyle Looks like the time thinking it over was well spent Bing! I'd love to hold this one. Will this one be...

Watching history unfold once again. Bruce thanks for keeping these WIP going. Your Power Naps are going to be a lot shorter for the next little while.:biggrin: Thanks

Dave, Here is the link to the ABS Forums Section. I was watching all weekend for a post on who made it myself. http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/index.php?/topic/305-2011-blade-show/? God Bless

Thanks Rex for the info. I will give him a call. I'm just looking at options right now. It may be a good excuse to make a road trip. Thanks Again

Nice John, You have taking your design to the next level. You already know I like your handle treatments. This just keeps getting better all the time. Thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone Mike one of these days I'm going to take you up on that. But you better let Barb know before I send it up:biggrin:

W's Pattern Damascus, I did the Ferry flip on this one. First time for me on that. Along with some Desert Mesquite handle & nickel hardware. Lots of fun in this one. [/IMG] [/IMG]

Steve, Great one,to get those dovetail bolsters to be lined up even must have been pain staking. To do those on one end is bad enough but both ends Wow. Thanks For sharing
