Fine work for a fine lady. How appropriate!

Killdeer

Beautiful work!
I wish I could do things like that

Ya'll know that now I am going to have to start picking up after myself just so she lets me hold it once in awhile   :rolleyes:  . Great job Doc. She will be one happy lady. And I know I will not hear the end of how awesome the file work on HER KNIFE is for a long time lol. I am going to show her this right now. HEHEHEHE. HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER EVERYONE.<><

Beautifull!!!!

Well I guess that was just a tease.  But I wanted to make sure Shell was ready for our St Judes duo.  Her fancy leather & bead work would make any knife look good.  So this is just an early Thank You.  Keep watching for all the great St Judes Projects that everyone is doing.  Here are 3--St Judes knife backs, Shell's, and maybe one for me  
 

Now I did forget one thing about Shell.  She dearly loves cocobolo.  I'll let her explain that.  But since this is a personal knife for her & she is blond, I think I have the perfect piece of coco to go on the handle...Doc
 

Jeff......

I really need to compose myself for a moment...I am floored with this. I am terrible in the spotlight and I really need to reflect on what I want to say. I am desperately trying to finish my prior commitments of my orders from so many setbacks and will be pondering on your kindness and those beautiful photos and sentiments from you and comments from everyone else whom I don't feel I deserve all that much while I work today....

I'm quite speachless and emotional right now and I will be back in a while to post appropriately on this.

You are the epitome of the words "treasured friend."

That is beautiful work!

Well, Doc, all I can say is  

Beautiful work, for a beautiful person - inside and out - and one of my favorite folks. Ya doin' sooooo good, Doc.

Shell is a very awesome individual and is more generous than anybody i know on this forum....more than deserving shell.....you are truly respected and appreciated

Awesome stuff there Jeff. Your work with the file is as precise as that of your scalpel.

And couldn't agree with your choice of recipiants more...Shell has and continues to give deeply to many folks. Enjoy it Miss Shell, please show us a pic of your finished work.

Going to be quite some auction this year. Those are real sweet Jeff. Shell I think we're all as anxious to see it as you are. Great folks doing for great folks. Does it get any better than that?

Jake,  You are very kind with your comments but I must say that I'm an unmentionable fraction of the generosity on this site. There are so many on here who soar with their giving and I know this first hand as I have been on the receiving end more than not.

It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of this trad family and know that once you mingle with these wonderful folks, you will find out that there are much more deserving than I who succeed your compliments and feel you will in time see this. That's why we call it our home  

I could give names but then this thread may overload  

you are one special lovley lady shell and to have so much give in your heart for other people you realy deserve that beautiful knife that jeff is making for you.god bless lovley lady.brother HO'NEHE        

WOW, outstanding work Doc and it could not go to a more deserving person. If one of those is going on St Judes you can bet I will be bidding on it.

Danny

Man, that's going to be one nice knife. Going to one heck of a fine person too. Can't wait to see what she makes to compliment it. It'll be awesome!

Hey did I ever tell you guys that she cooks to. Yep I am blessed way more then I could ever deserve. My Shell is one of a kind. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and most of all to Tippit you my Friend are top notch and a Class act. Right up there with alot of others.<><
