And a family portrait Greg! All three should be in the mail tomorrow. That sod buster was a chore! Never have worked on one before. Thank you for giving me the chance to be of service Greg! And for your patience while I worked through the curves thrown by the Camel bone and the Bird's eye pinning!

Randy those look fabulous! We'll worth the wait. I will probably be gone again by the time they get to Georgia dang it but I will at least have something nice to come home to. Thanks again Randy for accepting my request.

Those look great Randy, I have been thinking about doing some knife work myself. Yesterday I worked on an old sheet metal business building that had a cutlers shop in one room. I am now trying to figure out how to talk the owner into selling me some of the tools.
