Just finished up this extensive project for knife maker Dr. David Taber (www.drtknives.com) and his collection of Bob Loveless knives. He is planning on eventually selling or trading these knives and the first step is good photos of each, which is where I played my part. The collage was just a fun side project to showcase the entire collection in one view which he's having printed on a 24" x 36" canvas material that's framed and ready to hang on the wall. It's being printed as I'm posting these pics and we're both pretty excited to see how it turns out. I'll have him take a picture of it when he's got it hanging on his wall at home and add it to this thread. Anyways, here's the knife photos:
