CFM chuck123wapati Posted September 25, 2022 CFM Report Posted September 25, 2022 that's a pretty good first try, I don't have a critique mainly because it is your first try practice is all i can see you need right now. getting you layout knife cuts nice, smooth and flowing sets the stage for your design. I started there.

Members Leather2 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2022 Thank you Tom and Chuck. Chuck, any tips for the swivel knife, or is it just a matter of practice? thanks Quote
Members oltoot Posted September 25, 2022 Members Report Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) And lighten up a little. trying to tool too much gives it a "busy" look not intended. Maybe a lighter weight mallet? And proper casing makes for cleaner looking work Edited September 25, 2022 by oltoot tremors Quote
