Sweet. I think Jim Ferguson is my favorite damascus maker. Beautiful burl, too.

I'm not sure this is quite appropriate for this thread, but it's close, and it highlights more Jim Ferguson...and Barry Dawson:

Japanese inspired knives are some of my favorite to make.

Here's one I made earlier on commission. I call it an Ameriscanto.

The wood is Purpleheart and the pics were taken just after finishing. The wood will go even more purple with more exposure to UV.
