Can you tell a big difference with the Hermann Oak? What weight are ya using

Huge difference over Tandys Oak Leaf brand. This was 8-9oz split down to 8oz (small fee), it's consistent and made the flesh side really clean. It seems to wet form better, burnish way better, takes dye well and has a higher quality feel. I'll be using Hermann Oak from now on.

For the Game of Thrones fans....

Nice progress, John :thumbsup:
So is "Serrano" official?
Kinda looks like it from the first post in the "two words thread."
Happy weekend everyone :)

Looks like it won in the poll. 'Redmeadow Serrano' had a nice ring to it:thumbsup: We should be stitching in no time.

The two word thread is more influential than you guys may think, it's greasing the wheels.

That's good to hear, I keep wanting to try Wickett and Craig, I heard it was also very good. Maybe when I start getting low again.

I'd like to try that as well, last time I looked for it everything was "Call to Order", that usually means I can't afford it!

Looking good, John!:thumbsup:
A really big batch for you this time!

Especially considering the handle construction. I doubt I'll do a batch of eight through-tangs again. Full tangs maybe.

I have an idea for the next batch, it'll be a small run of full tangs. I'll be working on the frame handle as well.

I should probably do that sleep thing sometime but I gotta run to the big city for a dentist appt. With the family out of town my sleep schedule is all screwed up, I'm pretty much working off random naps.
