I delivered one knife last night and planned on being in my shop early this morning. Nope, wife had me haul her to the doc's office and then take her shopping and out to lunch. I thought I had it made until she bought 2 ornamental pear trees for me to put in when we got home. Well, they are planted, and I'm worn out. I realized my dwarf apple tree has a nice burl growing on it, and it's going to be pretty big. Anyone know what apple wood burl looks like, or if it's worth cutting? Tomorrow I would like to head to Ron's Hammer-In, but my father in law is in the hospital and not doing well, so it's all up in the air. I'm looking for some black jade for E.R.(Russ) Andrews and am boxing up a bunch of shrapnel to send to IG. George, I won't forget the pleshetts. I found them, they will be in the box, too. J., you still need a piece of shrapnel for that knife guard and some other project work?
