• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Two Little Bittys for Fisk Micro-Show...Ivory and Blackwood

Muddy,

I'll try to get a close-up of the "Birdseye" blackwood tomorrow, tho it'll probably take skills better than mine. I've only found one piece in the six years of buying blackwood for handles, and heard of only one other. ( Got enough for two more handles)

How well does that figure show up in person? In other words, is this the lighter-colored material with the nice chatoyance?

I remember seeing these logs right after they came in. Very cool stuff. A bit (a lot) out of my price-range, though.
 
John,

Remember when the master smiths lectured us about how few of us will ever develop a recognizable style? I think you've done it, buddy. Most here would recognize your work a mile away. :thumbup:

Cheers,

TV
