Ok - so here we go!
Got my designs drawn up earlier today - took inspiration from some of you - thank you - I will add my own twist - hopefully not blood like our resident hillbilly..
So I presented ol' Bruce with three - he told me his favorite and chose a different one - I dunno which one I am making yet - probably multiple just to increase my odds of success - kinda like how I take pictures...
1084 Steel, Native Texas wood on the handles (I have sourced some Texas Ebony and some Texas Maple - hope it works) - I dunno, I have some things up my sleeve for ol' Bruce as well - he ain't the only wannabe slickster on here..
I have thick skin and wanna learn - so please input input input - as my son just told me this afternoon - "dad, you are going to learn so much.."
So there are my three designs - my steel will be arriving very soon - I can't just sit around, I don't do that very well
So, I dunno if whittlein' is a part of knife makin' - but I've profiled these blades outta some pine 1x4s I had stacked in the corner - I'ma whittle 'em up, shape 'em - see which one I like before I commit to it. There is a third one that I will keep to myself...
I feel like I just strapped in, nodded and the gate has opened... Lets Go!!
