A Chute Built Around the Scales

[TK Steingass]

Greetings All:

I had this great SHORT set of Desert Ironwood scales sitting around so I built this subhilt chute around them. I had more steel than wood! All comments welcome.

Great looking Chute knife! TK, If you don't mind me asking, what software are you using to edit your photos? Photoshop? Lightroom?

Thanks Adam. I use Photoshop Elements 11. I photograph against a white background, cut/paste the images against a free digital background from the internet. I also build the shadows - when I want a real eye popper, I go to COOP.

That's something I'd like to see in person, considering how difficult it can be to photograph chatoyance in wood (or metal).
