nice work, i like your background to. loyd
Great looking knives! I am sure they will be very pleased with them.
Nice! I'm thinking about a project using antler. I like the bocote accents on the tine cut-off area!
Did you stain the antler (if so what did you use) or is that natural?
no the anler on the big knife was natural .I did burn the helle knife handle a little to give it color . here is another one I just finished for a customer that is burnt as well. it is a Helle harding blade .

Good job, Jeff. If loyd likes it, that's a heck of a pat on the back. Larry
