A Hammer and a Case

Post by glennbad »

Here's a couple I finished recently for Tom (TAB). He doesn't really come here anymore, so I thought I would share them for him.


The first one started out as a Hammer 72? / whittler...

I chose some amber CSB for this one, as I hadn't used that on this pattern before. Here's how it came out...

This Case was interesting. It belonged to his Grandfather, and he wanted to spiffy it up some so he could gift it to his father. Someone must have carried it in their back pocket, cause it had a slight warp to it. I was able to work that out.

Tom chose some ivory Linen micarta. We decided to leave the blades as-is for some family history. Here's the results...

It was a pleasure and an honor to work on this knife for Tom.

Very Nice Glenn!

Thomas is a good man and I am glad to have him as a friend.

Great work on those knives.
