new project new knife

[DADDIO]

awhile back i posted about trading my ol rw/ms knife off to the old woodcarver that came to see me doing a carving demo at a festival. i thought later on well shoot i guess i'l buy me another one, little did i know they had stopped making them with the power hacksaw blades. so no you couldn't buy it anymore. until i got lead and ordered me 2 the other day and man i love them!!! i forgot how great they cut. so this was my first project, carved from basswood with a briwax finish. i mounted it on reclaimed wood cut like an arrowhead, then i burned it and sealed the edges and rigged the leather strap to hang it by.

Re: new project new knife

Great piece...I especially like the color contrast between the figure and the background, really sets the carving off.
