I watch vids during a minor medical procedure each afternoon. Though I had passed it over a number of times, I grabbed the CenterCross video of Chuck Burrows teaching sheath making and spun it today.
Brought a tear to my eye to see Chuck. Much like with the old irascible biker Indian George, Chuck and I spent hours on the phone chatting back in the day. I look at a little chunk of wrought on my bench every day that was the tag end from a pipe bowl I lathed out for Chuck for a pipe tomahawk. And then I dropped off the face of the earth with my health, only to eventually find out years later not only he but Linda passed, too.
So, years late, I say rest in peace, Chuck and Linda, and thanks for the friendship. I think of you every time I go to the leather bench and see that biga$$ hammer you sent Nanc.
Sorry if this is inappropriate to some, but I thought some of the other old timers might enjoy thinking of him for a moment, too.
