Five Star makes some great concrete mix. Used it for a heavy machine base recently.

I've been slowly working on this....... thing. Its kind of a big, brute de forge, Scagel-ish, skinner..... thing. I'm doing it up with a handle of deer antler, moose antler, birch bark and other stuff. Last night's task was to notch, angle, and assemble all the assorted handle pieces into a perfect arch. Because all the handle pieces are angled, I couldn't figure out how to use alignment pins. So, each piece was slotted VERY CAREFULLY so I had a perfectly tight, slop-free fit. The wrought iron guard will be etched, which means I need to have some picky work yet to do.

Fun project!!

That wenge really looks incredible. Gonna have to try some. Is it naturally stable or should it be stabilized?

Here are some S7, 5160, 3V, & 1075 knives getting profiled.

Definitely recognize those two twins at the top...very cool of you to do that. What steel are those?

And the two huge recurve choppers are very nice.

That does look like a neat project! The slotting must have been a bit tedious

CPM3V. They're at Peters right now. I asked for one at 58RC and the other at 62RC.
