Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

Just a friendly reminder these knives are for “Preview” not “Pre-sale”.


After an extended weekend everyone hit the ground running Tuesday morning.

Kyle w/ morning light shining on him to bring up his spirits…….

Crap, you know you're in trouble when you're likely beyond your 3 limit and you haven't even seen the sale thread preview or Fotki pics yet!


Hahahaha, this is priceless

A couple of my favorite models in the mix this week. Many sharks will be biting on the same bait I expect.

Thanks Phillip!

Oh good Lord!

I may have to run to Best Buy to get a new computer...just so I have a shot.

Given your at-home internet connection speed, consider searching in a 100 mile radius for something like an internet cafe with high speed access. Just sayin
 
Wow! Epic burls for sure
I think we should have a bidding war for the ladyfinger:)

The "figure" in that Bubinga looks amazing! It looks like a huge slab too... I look forward to seeing the first knife sample(s) using that wood. :)
 
No one is going to buy that bolstered osage sneaky, just send it to me and I will see that it gets a good home.
 
Wow! That OS Lady is a beaut! I'm sure that she will be the hot commodity when she shows up.

Looking forward to seeing the finished batch.
 
I've been waiting for the right Ladyfinger.

But Jerry is right - I'd need to find a high speed internet cafe to keep up with you guys. Last time I tried to snag something I had a full 15 Mississippi count delay before it posted.

Just saying. I won't be much competition...so all of you can relax and just take your time putting in your posts when that one comes up. Yeah...you won't need to bother until about 3:05 or so. :D:D:D

Oh hey! I'm back at 2 since I just realized that Sylvrfalcen had a lanyard and was just for size proportion for Mr Arthur.
