Hey all. Just another example of the cool people on this board. Tony comes over today with this awesome knife he made and says here, this is for making that flat lap for me. He did an excellent job making this one and I know he has a lot of work in it. The blade is obsidian and the handle is Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper. And it's big, it's 8" long, about 1 1/4" tall, and the handle is about 1 1/4" thick. Here it is. Thanks Tony, but like I told you, you really didn't have to do this. This one is going to sit with my large piece of Arizona pet wood, What an awesome knife.

Tony!! That's so good!! That knife is awesome. It looks so cool. Giving it to Ed is really nice as a thank you!
~Warning to Tony~ Look out for that Ed guy, I hear he's lookin' for someone to lift 700 lbs of wood for him!

Ed-
You're lucky you 2 didn't go up to get that wood and then have it stuck in your back. I've heard you gotta watch out for that Neph guy!!!!! LOL.
Tony- That is some great craftmanship. Bet it looks and feels much better in person. I'll bet that took a ton of time and effort to produce that work or art.

Awesome knife Tony. I guess I'll have to stop giving Ed a bad time when I see him, especially if he says, let me show you Tony's knife. Kim, ROFL imaging you walking around the house slashing the the cats!

mmmmm...really nice work, i'm working up to my next step here. i got the pieces epoxied together (will take pics, promise), been so freaking hot and humid here just flat out in front of the fan.
my dad liked his belt buckle today, he is addicted to tumbled stones now too. if i don't bring a new batch up when i visit he is visibly dissappointed. so is the guy that works with him....
hope everyone had a good D- Day,
KD
