Smokestacks and the Whatnot

That turned really nice John, Mac is right the black leather with the contrasting bronze spacers and the black wood butt section really set it off. :thumbsup:

Thanks Scott, it came out a little fancier than I thought, but I like it.

We'll make this simple instead.

When a knife in a progress thread is complete, I'll offer it in the newsletter first and then post it for sale in the progress thread. If there's no takers, then I'll move it to a sales thread in the subforum and it can collect dust there.

Not that it would happen, but I really hate the thought of posting a sales thread and someone snagging it before you guys that watched it built even know it's for sale. Posting in the progress thread first should avoid that and give you guys a shot at it in case you were interested.

Let me know what you think.
 
Well, that seems fair, but..... really only one solution:

That is one of the coolest knives I have seen. Heirloom quality stuff.

Fantastic work!
 
Looking forward to seeing the sheath, the knife sure turned out nice, that's for sure.
 
Going with dark brown with black edges. The belt loop will get attached as a separate piece.IMG_20170509_231146172_HDR-751x1335.jpg

My neighbor gave me that piece of antler, said he found it in his manure pile. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it has an awesome color to it, looks like a dinosaur bone. Must have taken a few years. Gonna store a few pieces in a bucket of manure and see if I can recreate it, would make for a gorgeous handle.
 
Think the sheath is going to be a great compliment to the knife!! :thumbsup:

Neat idea about the the antler! I need to go out and try to find some sheds!
 
That antler will make a great burnishing tool, it's exactly like the one I use, it's got a concave a convex and two straight sides, it's by far the best burnisher I have. I don't know but I think there is just something about the bone or antler that makes them work better than wood.
 
The edges will be black and will creep into the brown a little bit.

Good to hear Dennis, looking forward to getting it sent out.
 
The sheath looks good John, job well done on both knife and sheath.
 
That looks totally wrong. The sheath is all backwards. You better send it to me for proper disposal.
 
Edges blacked with vinegaroon, and neutralized with baking soda. I really like the effect the dark edges give.
