New at Cabelas

Whoa, that thing is amazing! The handles are "carved from the wood of the floorboards in the original blacksmith shop where Hoyt Buck made his very first knife in 1902 when he was a 13-year old apprentice." That is the coolest thing ever.:cool:
 
Sort of neat...just right for Sept 19th... :D

Yep...$$$$. It's very nice and only 250 will be made. Maybe in 10 or 15 years I'll find one on ebay for a good price...LOL. The only way I'll be getting one of these is if I win the Loto;)

Sort of a twist on Muddywood
muddwood.jpg


Among its original sponsors were ZZ Top, who donated funds, relentlessly talked the place up, organised benefits and commissioned the "Muddywood" guitar. Researchers had located the shack in which the great Muddy Waters, the godfather of postwar Chicago blues, had lived before he upped stumps for the Windy City. It was disassembled before the demolishers moved in, and meticulously rebuilt within the walls of the museum, but not before ZZ's guitarist Billy Gibbons had earmarked a few planks of wood to serve as the raw material for a a pair of custom-made "Muddywood" guitars. Decorated with a graphic following the line of Mississippi river, from New Orleans at the guitar's butt-end to the Delta at its headstock, one guitar toured the world as a fundraiser for the museum, where it now resides. Its twin is in Gibbons's private collection.

I was thinking of using the "vega poles" from my grandfather's casita for something

Anyone ever heard of a cottonwood handled knife:confused:

Cottonwood is pretty porous. If you are thinking of using some of it for a knife, I would make it a large knife that would require a good size chunk. I don't think it would work on something like a 110.
