WOW, what a crusader for mahogany! Your design and finish really made this a showpiece. As usual, well-done sir....

Ed, This is my simple setup & have made some good knives with it. using 1095 steel. I use coke, no propane.

What about:
"God helps those who help themselves."
Or at worst:
"If you can’t beat them, join them" ...

That is kind of missing some of the fun of making your own knives, It doesn't take much of a forge and anvil to make carving knives, Again my 2¢...

Well, repurposed Montana Stix. Whatever the wood, I sure the Wood spirts are happy with the new environment and living quarters that you have given the stix, sure did clean up nicely.

I wonder if the Democrats even recognize what you have done. Thank you for doing this nationalistic carving Again my 2¢.

Being a flatlander, & the fish I'm most familiar with is "stixs" But it seems to me that you did a great job on this guy.

[joepaulbutler]

A very interesting project, How tall is the piece?, I'm sure you'll keep us posted ...

[joepaulbutler]
