Ahhhhh! Went to put a few pins in today and the handle, well it cracked.......:mad: There was a small spalt line I didn't see at first and that's where she cracked. I did find nice piece of Cherry Burl that I'll try next, the tang is so small I might weld a small section on to give it a little more hold. I'll post pics when I get her rough shaped.

Geez, what's a guy gotta do to give away some memberships around here! All ya had to do was stop in and say hello;)

Reelin in my hook, I'll go spend the bait on some handle material.
 
Figured since we hit the one year mark this month it would be a good idea. I'd announce it but I'd rather give them to people who stop by here.....but people....would have to...stop by here....for that to happen....:eek:....we're all alone!!!:D
 
Plan B handle for the Kukri, Pennsyltucky black cherry burl, burned in ready to go. The checking is only on the surface I'll post a pic when she's done.

Wow, nice work! Is this one going to eventually be available for purchase?
 
Thanks Sheldon, I might sell her gotta make a sheath yet and that's not my strong suit so it could be a while. This is probably from the late 1800's, I sharpened her tonight and was amazed at the edge this thing took I got it shaving sharp. Those old Nipplese blacksmiths must have known what they were doing.
 
More wood:p finished and ready for a coat of earl.
