Yeah...,that wood cracking has caught me once or twice. I’m not a big fan of using wood scales. Only one customer I do wood scales for. This is Lignum Vitae. a wonderful “flowery” smell when working it.

For the spring I’ve switched to firearms building/gunsmithing. Done some trigger work, and right now I’m machining a couple lower receivers.

I know..., I know...NOT knifemaking! Just what I’m currently doing.I don’t get a whole lot of time to work on things, with pain always knocking on my door. Keeps me from working on more than one thing at a time, every few months.
