So as the title says, what have you guys/gals created with your Beckers? Have you used it to build a shelter? Create a fine meal for friends or family? Is it used in small projects or has it become vital in your daily chores?

Also, what have you destroyed with your Becker.... after all, destruction is a perfect excuse to have to rebuild and refresh. Have you used your Becker to tear out cabinets in a kitchen remodel? Ever ripped apart old furniture to use as kindling in a bonfire?

I just recently picked up a BK24 in D2 from Tomar's (excellent pricing and super fast delivery) and since have had it close on hand while at work. My job can have its busy streaks and the occasional slow spots, sometimes the down time is much needed and appreciated. So anyway, I have a nephew on the way and I figured with my little bit of free time, I would carve him a small bear out of a block of basswood. When all was said and done, my fiance decided that it would be better suited for a friends baby shower this weekend, and that I could carve another one for my soon to come nephew.

All of the carving on this was done with the Eskabar, it served to be very functional and well suited for my needs. I certainly wouldn't consider myself an artist, but I think this turned out... decent.

This "Eye" was unintentional, it is a knot in the wood and it didn't reveal itself it was there until i dug deeper.

I'm interested to see what you all have built or destroyed!:thumbup:
 
I'm not very creative but if there's something that needs destroying I'm yer man. :D
After my house got broken into, I decided to take out a shrub that the crooks used for concealment.
It started out like this:

The 9 is a BEAST!!!
 
Since the introduction of Beckers into the household I have created.......straight up Havoc. I'm totally obsessed and my family, to their chagrin, know it.

Seriously though, I have used it to bust up wood for the fire and do a little damage to a railroad tie in the backyard

Haha! That's great! I'm sure my friends and family feel the same way. We're so misunderstood.
 
Becker 9, chopped down a couple of 6in diam trees growing along my uncles horse fence, crafted dowels out of said trees to repair said fence and used the tip of my Becker to stop a leak in the tractor gas tank. broke off the tip ( hardest thing to ever do) & used super gorilla glue & taps, still runs today haha
