Emily VelascoUpdate on the knife project
The knife project is done.
Unless you count the fact that I still need to make a leather sheath for it. In that case, it's not done
Jason Coon@MLE_online ye gods that is beautiful! 🤩
@jasoncoon thank you!
Ophitoxaemia@MLE_online Love the cloud patterns
Matthew Dockrey@MLE_online oh, that woodgrain is so good!
@attoparsec It really is! I'm sad I'm almost out of that chunk of wood now.
Hotblackjava@MLE_online — Nice burl, a job well done.
@Hotblackjava i somewhat regret giving my dad the majority of that burl. i want it back now, lol
@MLE_online — If your talent is at all hereditary, your father will prolly put it to good use…
Amy Hoy@MLE_online beautiful! love the tiger stripes. it looks professional too
@amy isn't that a wonderful piece of wood?
@amy I think it's a piece of rosewood burl, but i'm not totally sure. A friend gave me like 300 pounds of assorted woods that her dad had collected, and none of it was labeled
@MLE_online that makes a lot more sense! i was like… it doesn’t look like tiger oak but what else could it be? rosewood didn’t occur to me bc it’s so rare now / illegal to harvest for so long. the tone is sure right
@MLE_online and what a nifty present
@amy A gift and a curse, lol. I had no place to keep 300 pounds of wood, but I couldn't turn it down, so I had to ask a friend if I could keep it in his garage, where most of it still is to this day
Joe Pasqua@MLE_online Very impressive!
Jeremiah Bohn@MLE_online Oooh, that’s pretty!
petern06@MLE_online that is amazingly awesome!! Beautiful!!😆

Did your Dad make knives?
@HackAWeek no. He just saw these knife blanks at the woodcraft store and thought they would be fun projects as Christmas gifts
