2010 March of Dimes Fundraiser

Looks fantastic Josh:thumbup:I got an email from Joe this morning to let me know he was starting the engraving. We should have some pics from him soon!
 
I finished up the scrimshaw today.

The zoom is bit harsh to the actual appearance with the naked eye but here it is.

Yes, it does look fantastic Josh!I think you could have a great future in knife embellishment if you ever get tired of making knives:D
 
I got my part done. I hope you like it. The next stop for the knife will be to Chris Kravitt in Maine for the sheath. I think it get a display case then to Jim Cooper for the photo. I have enjoyed this project and hope the auction will do well.

that knife is killer. Great work all around, what an inspiring collaborative effort.
Great work you guys.
 
Joe, I can't begin to tell you how awesome your engraving looks:thumbup::thumbup:, or how much we appreciate having you onboard this year!
If anyone is wondering, I ask Joe to just highlight the engraving in his photo so we can all be WOWed with Coop's magic at the end!
 
This is just great all around, and Joe's engraving sets it off!

Coop's shot will really show us what a great job everyone's done, you too, John C.

Forgot to add that I think Burt made a good call going with a full guard so Joe cpuld have a bigger canvas for his art, Thanks Burt:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I sent the redwood slab priority mail today. I hope it works ok for the display. I think you will enjoy working with this wood when you make your display stand.

The Ivory inlay for the display stand looks great also.

That's a nice piece of Redwood. It should make a great stand.

Great work everyone!!!
