She said the area a 112 allows for scrimshaw work makes it a joy to work on. DM

Here's a photo of one side of the ivory micarta 112. This is the only side she was finished with and thus would permit a photo. DM

"Fantastic" is the best word to describe that

David, great scrimshaw work by Leesa; she is indeed a very talented lady. So, as soon as she gets finished with that, I assume you are going to put her to work on the bolsters!!

 

[David Martin]

Tin Sue, thank you very much. Always the gentleman. The customer did not request engraved bolsters on this gift. Perhaps she'll do that on another model. DM

 

[David Martin]

Gents, she finished the 112 and here's the other side. DM

 

[DesertChris]

Quite the awesome finished knife
You and your gal do great work.

 

[David Martin]

Thank you, Chris. We really enjoyed this project. DM

 

[edbeau]

WOW, looks great!

 

[David Martin]

Thank you Ed for these comments. Should one examine the two sides of this 112, in dealing with the two 'B's of each side. She selected opposite ends to began each B with. This allowed a contrast with each side. The wider end allows for a larger B or more scroll work. Notice on this she gave him both. Thus, a more balanced work of art. DM

I have been a fan of Leesa's work since first seeing pics of it on this forum, and this piece is just great! Thank You very much for showing this one to us :thumbup: I bet the recipient will be very pleased with such a fine piece of craftsmanship! Well done to the both of you!
