Five More Trappers

[hispeedbuffer]

These were new Case CV blade trappers.I got an order for 10 and these are the final five.Two blood jasper and genuine elephant ivory,Two turquoise (one white,one blue)and laminate colored hardwood,and one white turquoise with blood jasper.All have thick N.S. Spacers.This was a fun contract and i even made a couple of $'s.Hopefully ,they will sell good for my customer and i can dodge getting a real job a while longer.

Those all look very nice indeed.

Thanks! I believe i will go back in and fit some blue spacers on the one ivory knife.That fit looks pretty dirty with the large pics.I knew it was a rough cut there,but i hate wasting even a few .000 of the elephant ivory.The final buff really made it show up ugly.

The final buff really made it show up ugly.

I hate it when that happens!
I have gotten to the point that I don't sand some woods as fine as I do others because they will show pits or voids.
Bad enough to have something like that happen with wood that is no where as expensive as elephant ivory!

The bright side is that it no doubt looks better in person than in the pics.
It seems to me that the pics often make the flaws stand out. I will take pics to look for flaws I think may be there but that I can't find with the un assisted eyeballs.

Nice work though!
I can't wait to see that one with the blue liner added.
