I though I'd throw up a pic of one I just finished. Any comments, good or bad are appreciated.

An impression of a Hornet should creep in some where or at least some kind of bug anyway. The blade is BG-42 with a convex grind and edge. Box Elder burl stabilized by WSSI forms the body capped off by a 416ss ‘bolster’. Stainless wires are heat colored for the legs and held in small copper tubes in the ‘thorax’ so the wood doesn’t split from the torque of the legs. The legs are not attached and simply push in and pull out. The blade is nearly 4 3/4” and it’s about 9” OAL (and it’s 5” wide!).
 
"You get big points on style and creativity with this one!!"

You got that right! Should make one heck of an eye catcher as a table center piece at your next show!
 
That is so cool.......great job:cool: .....Now get back to work...no more playing around:D :D :D
 
Tracy, I just don't know what we're going to do with you. Way to much time on your hands:D

I really like this little guy. Eyes must have been hard to do. Good going!
 
That is seriously cool!

How the heck did you put the edge on the blade in that tight curve?

Amayzing project!

You had mentioned you were going to get a little "ar-tees-tic", Tracy!

Way cool! I love stuff like that. Very nicely done!:thumbup:
 
Quick, Henry, the FLIT! ----Years ago (many) Flit was the name of a commercial bug spray that was supposed to KILL BUGS, NOT JUST STUN THEM! ---Sandy---
