Thanks everyone! I have the third knife in process, and the ironwood on it is going to be great as well. Tracy has excellent stock at USAKnifemaker. However, for some reason I have a gap between the scale and spacer on this third knife. The scales are just roughed to profile with inital shaping done, so I've got to pop the knife in the oven and remove the scales/liners and fix it up.
I appreciate all the warm comments. Makes me feel like I may be starting to get something right

.
Dave, I'll take you up on that trade sometime, and I'm glad I could start your day off right

Terry, thanks for the A+!! That's a great grade and means alot coming from an accomplished maker like yourself (and everyone else).
In the last several days, I've had some things begin to brew (good things, potentially) that may put me out of knifemaking for the summer and even the fall, but I'll try to get in the shop to get *some* work done. I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks again for looking and commenting, everyone!
