It was fun, Canada. We had some great times together and made some great memories, but it was time to go back to the one who has loved me longest and best.
I landed back in my home state in mid-April, and in the six weeks since then I’ve installed 60 feet of brick sidewalk, built and planted a raised-bed garden, attended my daughter’s swim meets, begun a new job (at my same company), married off one of my best friends, brewed 25 gallons of beer, and finished four knives. I also sent 20 stainless blades off for professional heat treating, acquired a new (to me) forge and anvil, and gotten a lot of work done on four or five other knives that could be done this weekend. It’s nice to be busy again.
Got a new photo setup going, so here are a few of the recent ones:
First, a desk knife with black birch burl, stainless bolsters, and domed pins. Alabama damascus.
And another with fossil damascus spalted curly maple, both courtesy of Jim Clow (Boatbuilder).
And finally a modified version of my Smithwick hunter with stainless bolsters, G10, and Alabammy dammy.
