Trying to take a picture of a swedge is much like showering in a parakeet cage or rollerskating in a buffalo herd, ........
you can't take a pic of a swedge on a bench

When you finish it up, and set it up with a dangle sheath, shoot it to me and I'll see what i can do with photography!

Good photos would be a bonus - a dangler a nice accessory - no worries there.
Is that some kind of grouse?

This is by far the toughest blade to photograph, the curves get out of proportion. This shot represents it well I think.
The guard is fit, needs shaped. Blade's at 600 grit right now, I'll go to 1000 and then finish back to a clean 600. It might just be my brain, but finishes always seem to look cleaner if I pass my finish grit by one grit and then go back down to it.
There is a sheath thread that Ray started in case anyone missed it, Click here

Looks like a really nice blade, as for pics when all else fails I stand back a bit and shoot the photo, it seems gettin better lighting effects for some reason.

Thanks Scott, I think I get too close and things get skewed out of proportion. A couple of pics I took makes the blade look like a balloon!

That looks like a wonderful day out there. Fun stuff.
As to the Bull, will there be any surprises in the handle beyond a nice stack?

John has a vision - he can "see it in his mind" - there very well could be magic in the smoke
Never new about glow in the dark
- Glow in the day would be nice Wouldn't be a surprise then, would it?

The stack will be different than previous ones, but no surprises.
