Geez, a carver in shadetree. Well damn. I'm supposed to be saving for Christmas guys! Knock it off. :D
 
That is a very diverse batch.
Really enjoy these awesome updates Bud.
Thank you, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
 
Thanks Bud! Great variety of photos as always. I like the shot of Phillip's scribe list. I also appreciate the in-process photo of MY Palmer. :o Sapphire burlap over black & white would be Sweet!!

These will be some interesting batches in the next couple of weeks.

I guess you missed that I already called it. ;)

But I'll definitely take it with the sapphire over black and white (in a nice thick handle). Or with anything for that matter.

I've been hoping for the Palmer to make a comeback. I really like the Runt, it's a great shape and mine is a really nicely built one as you've seen firsthand Phil. But I've always wished for something just a tad bigger in the same design. I've failed in my attempts at acquiring a Palmer on the secondary markets.

Dcaggie has a good idea, this could go up for auction and I'm sure would have quite a few bidders.
 
Let's see if this one is higher quality - close up shot. Even with the knives in their final stages, the craftsmanship is incredible.
