Pictures here! On the Bench

I've got a half dozen knives on the bench, this batch of sheaths and a sword I want to finish by spring, but this stuff is all in the hopper now which means it's time to start thinking on new projects.
A piece from this cool billet of random damascus from Salem Straub is destined to be a small, window handled knife, methinks.

Ps- almost figured out how to learn how to run this sewing machine. Lots of practising, and I've almost got er dialed!

^Methinks that Damascus would make a great choice for a small window-handled knife…..

it has 'Phil' written all over it! Some ironwood or other snazzy wood might be nice for a handle, eh?

 

[Lorien]

just about ready for glue, then it's time to fire up the machine and stitch my first sheaths with it!

your sheaths are complete! I'll be getting in touch with all ya'll within a few days to make sure I have all the infos correct. These sheaths should go out via Fedex in about a week- there's a few things I need to nail down in order to ensure you aren't slapped with a 35% tariff before I ship, so bear with me just a lil bit longer.

That's a big batch of awesome!

I enjoy watching the evolution of features you incorporate into your sheaths. Even if none of the photos had shown your logo, I would still know with certainty that all the signature design elements demonstrate that these were made by you and you alone. Just like your handmade knives, you have achieved a signature style that is unique and prized by those who "know."

Congratulations to the new owners of these amazing sheaths!

Well, that’s pretty cool. One can only imagine what the end result will be.

thanks man I have an idea of what this might end up being, but there is mystery there even for me. That's one of the reasons I like making things
