WOW, that is a beauty.
The pins, shield, maple and bolsters look as if they are a painting and one continuous piece. ::tu::
Almost as if the shield and pins were floating in a maple lake.
You do such great work Todd.

fantastic! I never get tired of wood scales, they are one of the few things these days were "unique" is not just a buzz word :)

Absolutely gorgeous as usual Todd! I tried to catch up with you at the Blade Show to meet you, but you were pretty busy.

Makes you want to forget about stag or bone! The knife looks like a piece of art. Simply fabulous.

Excellent!
The wood is beautiful and the lines are clean. Outstanding knife.

I recently did a knife and stabilized fiddle back maple that really came out nice.
Because maple is so soft, I won't use it unless it is stabilized, but once it is stabilized it's absolutely gorgeous.

I think maple is one of the more underappreciated woods.
