Morland's KITH WIP

[Chris Railey]

the first attempt sucks as a leaf also...

Now that is funny.

I think it looks very very good. Carving is tough ... pressure, angle, ... etc. trust me, that looks great!

Nope. Not very good. I will keep working on it. Hopefully I will improve.

 

[Kevin Zito]

You will. No doubt.

Attempt No. 3. Much better. The pattern is next to it. 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Should fit nicely on a knife sheath. Couple more practices coming up.

 

[Daniel Macina]

Way better! That's awesome!

 

[Dennis Morland]

Attempt No. 4 is still damp. Has a small seeder background. I will let it completely dry and tomorrow try some coloring techniques. Hopefully it will help even more. We shall see.

Tandy Leather for the main stamp. The name is my knife stamp.

 

[Dennis Morland]

All dry and ready for some coloring. I have about a gazillion things to do today. What is one more going to hurt??

 

[Dennis Morland]

Hand sanding goodness. In about an hour I got the stamp side to 320 grit. I will get it to 600 grit when finished.

 

[Dennis Morland]

Give me an hour and I will get this side caught up.

 

[Daniel Macina]

Very, very nice!

 

[Dennis Morland]

Got caught up to 320 grit on this side.

 

[Dennis Morland]

This little spot in front of the guard just about takes as much time to hand sand as the entire blade. I hate this spot!

 

[Dennis Morland]

These were not any fun, either.

 

[Dennis Morland]

Time to pick out handle and bolster material. I like this part...

 

[Dennis Morland]

I forgot to mention that I rounded the spine in front of the thumb jimping.

 

[Dennis Morland]

The little blade has a nice distal taper.

Being a smaller knife makes for more selection from the wood stash. I have a few smaller blocks that will not work for bigger knives. For extra credit name the wood type from top to bottom. Don’t forget to answer in the form of a question. “Jeapordy” music is playing. Go!
