I'm in NC, a little less than an hour from you in Cleveland. I'm actually slowly getting out of knife making, so I have a fair amount of tools and supplies I'd let go of fairly cheap. Shoot me a PM if there's anything you're looking for.

Yep, I forgot that part (and it's an important one). We have a lot of Virginia pine around here, and there's always pitch to be found on those. Only problem is the end product is marginal at best. White pine's are harder to come by in my area, but produce a much better glue.

I've only had so-so luck with with PPG, so take any advice I give with a grain of salt. If you're finished product is brittle you're likely cooking it too hot. A ghetto double broiler (soup can in a pot of water) should help with that.

Very cool hawks, James. The guys over in the sandbox are going to love them.

Ha, too awesome! I love Joerg's videos, ya'lls work blend together nicely.

No problem Wade, I'm glad to help where I can. I hate I wasn't able to take part this time, but that's life.

Sorry for the delay guys, got a little sidetracked. Here's the rundown of the drawing: Stormcrow Dan Pierson Wade Houghman James-G messerist TacticallySharp Gunnar You'll ship to the person listed below your name, Gunnar you'll be sending your to Stormcrow. I hope you guys had fun...

Your bead work just keeps getting better and better, Randy. Hope the shoulder heals up soon and you can get back to swinging the hammer.

Off the top of my head we have messerist Gunnar Wade Houghman Dan Pierson James-G TacticallySharp Stormcrow Am I missing anyone? I'll give it until later today to make sure there are no late entries.

That is killer, Dan!

I'm embarressed as hell, because I brought this up, but I'm out this year too. Just too many irons in the fire this spring, and unfortunately I don't mean that literally. I can't see any way for me to finish up before the deadline. Since I don't have any skin in the game I'd be happy to do...

Awesome work by both of you! I think this makes a pretty strong case for knifemaking skills being genetic. My boys are screwed.......

Awesome stuff, James. I'm lusting after that middle one something fierce.

Awesome work all around. Troy, that boy of yours has some serious skill. I've been swamped, and then put out of commission this past week due to a nose surgery. I was rooting around in the garage and found a skinner I had started a while back that's ready for heat treating, so I'll probably...
