hey Bruce! remember that old hatchet I picked up in Walla Walla? Well, I chopped it, split it and turned it into a nice pattern for that big damascus bowie:) I likes it! dana

Hey gang! It's been forever since I last posted or replied! We're in the midst of finishing a shop in North Idaho, as well as making plans for our daughter's wedding and readying our house in Colorado for the market in the Spring. We, as always, thoroughly enjoyed Jim's awesome hammer-in. Jim...

I love them both but that first knife is absolutely stunning. I love those custom pins too! Dana

Hi Randy, Just paid a visit to the kitchen cutlery area and am impressed with all those that posted. Your stuff is exceptional. I've got a few chef knives of cpm154 under my belt but they are not as sweet as yours! Great work, friend! Dana

WOW, Bruce!!! That wood is even more awesome with that new Brownells stuff. It looks like it's all coming together beautifully. How much longer before you are ready to send it off to the engraver? Dana

Hey Bruce! That is great that your son could attend and also do the carving. You guys have so much talent! I did not say I could pronounce the names (accept Attor :)). I was going to leave that up to you. Attor the horsemans hatchet/axe does sound cool. Hope all is well with you and...

Hey Bruce! I did some more searching for dragon names and found the following. I kind of like Attor and Glaurung. ATTOR: Old English word meaning "gall; poison; venom." Variant: Ator. APOPHIS (Άποφις): Greek form of Egyptian Apep, possibly meaning "to slither." In mythology, Apep is the...

Hey guys! I had posted this on Ed Caffrey's forum last week but figured this would be a good time to post a pic of my shop assistant :). Dana
