March of Dimes Charity Build 2012

[John M Cohea]

I'm a little late in annoucing this, but better late than neverThe last couple of years we have had fairly fancy knives made by some REALLY talented folks, so this year we're going to tone it down a notch or two, but the talent will still there!
This year will be a frontier style collabaration.The knife will be a big ole stag crown bowie, and our solo maker this year will be ABS Mastersmith J Neilson, with yours truly providing the leatherwork and display stand.The stag was donated by forum member Richard J, and unless he wants a break, Coop will once again bring it all together in the end for us.
J will be taking pics along the way, as will I, and we will do the WIP as we go along to keep the interest going.
This will be the fifth year for these projects and the contributions made to the March of Dimes is slightly over 15000.00 dollars, this is of course including the matching donation from the company I work for.
Layla and I would like to once again thank all of the good people who donate their time, materials, and skills, not to mention their moneythat have made these projects such a hugh success!

I am very happy to be a part of this and I want to thank John for including me. I've got a bit of a "different" idea in mind for this piece (what else is new, huh?). Let see if I can keep from screwing it up.
