The covers did come out rather well. They are wood products of Glennbad.The covers on that Case are like a raging inferno, Bob!
Wood or acrylic?
An unbiased scorekeeper would have been a luxury back in the days I'd play a little golf.

Glad to hear it went well. Thanks Bob. My son says his arm pretty much feels back to normal. He’s been playing baseball and should be cleared to skate with reckless abandon after his doctor’s appointment next week.
Well done
Looks great Bart, well done.
Nice work, Bart... Your stitches are nice and tight.
Thanks guys. I’m pleased with how it turned out. I still need to improve my skills on some of the finer details like finishing the stitching and making the stamping more crisp.
Thanks Gary. It’s nice to have a little more free time to spend here.
I would use them, but that’s why they won’t let me be a Collector.Well as a few of you Will know I have been trying to complete the full set of Blade forums knives . It all started with the first one I got from Brian Smith , the stag Barlow by Queen cutlery , that sparked an interest , and for the last five years I have been hunting down the rest of them . Thanks to the help of some good people and my bank balance being battered lol
I have finally taken delivery today of the last 3 knives that complete the set . I think there is a couple of specials that were not actually the annual knife , that I don’t have . But was lucky enough to find an Eric’s knife. So here is the full set in all its glory
God knows what I’m going to do now I have them all
I like it.My "coat pocket" puukko. I made it of a Wood Jewel "Lappipuukko". I shortened the handle and thinned it slightly from the sides. The back bolster or plate is from a bronze medal I got in a archery competition 2003, tang is peened over it. The sheath is thick vegetable tanned leather, pocket carry only. Flaws, but handmade.
Beautiful old short liner
Nice work preserving that poison ivy vine, Harry!Nice day outside for doing some light additional Fall work after coffee and then lunch with some friends . Then I applied some poly urethane to the walking stick project . One more coat and it will be done .
Have this one in the pocket .

In the modern age of throw away imported veneer on particle board furniture, it’s nice to see someone taking time to keep up the good solid wood furniture.
About to start tearing down our old dining table for some repairs and refinishing. Toting around my trusty GEC 71 in green canvas today.
A weekend of camping, making fires using your belt knife to whittle kindling, pots of cowboy coffee balanced on logs, smoke following you around the fire and burning your eyes, and playing your Martin by the fire? THAT is living the life, FrederickFriday-Sunday, for some camping and music with friends. SAK got a real workout.
Micarta and Metal Monday
How did you do that? I mean the whittling down part? That blew a circuit breaker in my brain.Haven't posted in a while, probably because I whittled it down to two folders months ago and nothing has changed, but I'm still really enjoying this Kerry Hampton small swayback
. Anxiously waiting for Postie Mike to deliver #47. Until then keeping me company the usual lamb and with a nod to Trapper Tuesday my Case CL. 
You've outdone yourself, Steve!

and the team for making it possible.
I like your romanticization of my weekend Jeff. Truth be told, fire was lit when we arrived, I never let it go cold. There was *no* wind down in the Holler (as we call it, truthfully), nobody had to move on account of smoke once that I recall. It will never happen again! I don't even play, but they had a heckuva band going and we ate 5 times a dayA weekend of camping, making fires using your belt knife to whittle kindling, pots of cowboy coffee balanced on logs, smoke following you around the fire and burning your eyes, and playing your Martin by the fire?

"Sally and the Hurts" was the core of the band, but lots of others showed up and jammed. I heard the most heartbreaking rendition of Angel from Montgomery ever.
and missed it so much I bought another and then lost that.
it turned up jammed in the sliding track of the car seat, I only found it because the seat would not slide back whilst looking for my wallet.
