Can you post a pic of your 72 blade mod.

C Wade, nice beaver carving.

Doug I still have the rooster you carved for me. The corn stalk is a nice touch.

Thanks guys.
C-WADE7 I'll try to get a picture, unfortunately my phone isn't working right and it's about to die Basically I just put a angle like this / to the tip and put a convex edge on it.

Made these up for a member (MIA for awhile) and sent it to him after making contact with him to make sure he’s ok.

Some things my Mom gave me yesterday. My Dad carved them 30 years ago.

The rose and bud are a carved version of a tattoo he got from Lefty in Scollay Square in the 60’s.

My son’s girlfriend has to wear a vest when she’s at work, and wanted to dress it up so I made her a couple little pins to put in it. The last one is from some show they watch, Rick and Morty.

Couple of new projects(one posted on the knife forum). The first is out of a 2x2x 10” single piece of Poplar wood.

Again C Wade that is some fantastic work. I really like the first joint under the hook. And of course the knife is wonderful.

Thanks, that is a lot of blind cutting and end grain cutting, I’ve done one before so I had an idea of what I was against.

Thanks Skip! It keeps me occupied in the evenings, there isn’t much worth watching on tv anyway.

My favorite, out of your latest group, is the
"Hook and swivel to chain links to ball in a cage."

I bet I carved the hook/swivel nearly 2 years ago and the chain links about 6 months ago and finally got off my butt to do the ball and cage. I’ve been wanting to do this a long time but kept stalling out for some reason.
