    might try wetting the fringe and placing it in between something to hold it flat while it dries....that should help fix the problem. I have a friend that does that to make the curl stay in place. should work both ways

    My suggestion would be to contact the King museum directly or possibly even Barry King.....they would know for sure.....

    Nice technique!

    that appears to be just an antique. Looks to be mahogany or a dark brown. Make sure to get it into the impressions and then buff lightly to remove from the raised areas and let it set in the low areas and it will look very similar. Mike

    definitly trim the sheeps wool... several coats usually work better and thin it some.

    Only thing I would suggest is working on beveling technique....try to walk the tool and keep from getting "chatter" marks. Other than that it looks really good. Welcome to my addiction...lol

    I think the knife is terrible and you should send to me for disposal.....and send the sheath too!! LOL....looks great and they will be really nice together. Mike

    You ain't got that bib done yet???
  25. mikesmith648
    that is cast pewter and will shatter if you try to peen it...it needs a copper washer (so it is soft enough to bend without a lot of pressure) and put it on similar to doing a copper rivet.......BUT DON"T PEEN IT!!! Either that or if you have patience and a very small drill bit. you can cross drill it and pit a cotter pin and washer on it.............but that might cause injury so not recommended
