All About Pocket Knives

Well, I figured I'd post a pic of a carving I did in 2006. Since I have no creativity whatsoever, I purchase carving books for not only "how-to" info but patterns as well. Just about everything I have carved is from someone else's design. These books have been invaluable to me as "tools" to become better at carving.

One of my books is by an exceptional Arizona carver named Dave Stetson
In the back of the book he has patterns and photos of various carvings he had done. I really took a liking to the one of a cowboy holding a whiskey bottle. I carved the following from a "roughout" (a pre-shaped blank) of Dave's carving. I decided to use him as a knife stand as well .

Great cowboy and the best looking whiskey bottle I've seen in a long time!

Great job there again Don. If you ever get tired of looking at that whiskey bottle, send it my way. LOL

now that is the way to store a knife....great carving don...

Great carving Don… I would like a swig of that whiskey too

Don, Another work of art!

Thanks guys By the way...I carry that "whiskey bottle" with me everday in my new custom clip-on sheath A great sheath for a great knife! (Thanks again Jim and Rick)

Really nice, Don.
