The top edge is sharpened -- thanks for checking it out (I know it's a touch weird looking.) Attachments bootknife.jpg 9.2 KB · Views: 495

Burchtree KnifeMaker & Moderator Moderator Joined Mar 15, 2002 Messages 5,368 Sep 16, 2003 #4 It might be. My problem is that I go to the woodworking shop here in town and buy exotic wood, then let it sit around until I forget what it was. Once again, I'll have to take it into the shop to ask them what kind of wood it is (they must think I'm stupid.)

Burchtree KnifeMaker & Moderator Moderator Joined Mar 15, 2002 Messages 5,368 Sep 16, 2003 #6 Thanks for the kind works it is 3/16. I know it's not teak, I would remember that because it's a small word. (big words confuse me. )

Burchtree KnifeMaker & Moderator Moderator Joined Mar 15, 2002 Messages 5,368 Sep 16, 2003 #13 nope, not walnut. I'll just have to see what the woodworking guys say.
