She's absolutely gorgeous. And, I'll say it again; Thank God people are using copper again. Great piece.

I've got to add to this - That red oak is killer. You're blessed with that kind of woodpile on hand.

Thanks Gibby. Actually I've used copper for quite a while, I just haven't posted much here. I'm lucky, the guy that brings me firewood keeps an eye out for burl pieces since he knows I make knives. He's saved me so much money on wood that I just gave him one.

I have this same knife, you won't be disappointed.

That's so cool Joel.
