I've been workin' on a few new ideas.  Now with Shell going 1/2 & 1/2 on a little St Judes project with me.  I got to thinkin' "Shell does so much for everyone" that she deserves a little something special.  Here's a sneak preview...Doc
 

Oh man! I love that! Can't wait to see the rest of it.

What a tease! LOL

Awsome!!!!!!!!

Thats some fine file work..

Doc, you are the MAN. It couldn't be for a more deserving person!!!

fine looking file work for sure!!!!!!!!!

you sly old dog that is going to look awesome when finished LOL!!!!

WOW!! Nice file work...you couldn't do it for a more deserving person!

HAHAHAHA SHE WAS JUST ON HERE AND DID NOT SEE THIS POST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  nOW FOR SOME FUN!HHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!<><

Shell's gonna flip when she sees this.

HEY DOC I JUST LOOKED AT MY TIPPIT KNIFE AND I DID'NT SEE ANY OF THAT AWESOME FILE WORK! WHAT GIVES.<><      

Frank,
You got one too early!  Remember once someone gets famous/infamous whatever, the early pieces are worth a lot more...say 200 years    
Doc

what kind of file are you using to get the thorne so sharp loyd

HOLY COW what fantastic file work!!!! that will sure be a special knife and going to a great person who does so much for so many others. Doc, this is a very nice thing for you to do!!!

loyd,  I use a 1/2 round marking file that I modify to get a sharper edge...Doc

This is only step 2 of a 4 step real vine pattern.  I'm still progressing to to that stage.  When you stop learning new tricks, you stagnate...Doc

Nice work and a great gesture Doc..... I can't think of anyone more deserving...     Looking forward to seeing the finished product....Terry

Terry, The St Judes Bow Auction with knife will have some surprises too...Doc

I can't wait to see it.....    Terry
