Members Go2Tex Posted March 29, 2009 Members Report Posted March 29, 2009 Ditto all of the above. Very fine work. It must have been hard to pick the winner with so many good pieces. I have one of Paul's knives and I use it everyday and love it. My biggest problem is trying to decide which blade to use! Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com
hidepounder Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) If you don't mind me asking, what brand knife and blade style do you like to use??I have one of Pauls and really like it, but I seam to have a swivel knife fetish Yes, I need help. Thanks, Tina Tina, Sorry for taking so long to answer you...I was out of town for a week. the knives I use the most are...a 3/8" Henley with a Bob Beard 1/4" angled HG blade...a Bob Beard 1/2" custom made knife with a 1/2" HG straight blade...a 5/8" custom made Bob Beard with a 5/8" straight HG blade...a 3/8" Henley with a 1/4" low angle, shallow bevel blade by Peter Main...and a 1/2" Henley with a 3/8" HG straight Henley blade. I am very impressed with the 1/4" angled blade from Paul also. Bob Edited April 6, 2009 by hidepounder
hidepounder Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) That is really amazing. Was all of the work done with JUST a swivel knife? Amazing. I think I like the design on #2 more - but #1 has such a perfect technique. I have no clue how he did it! TF Thanks TF, Sorry to be slow replying...been out of town. They allowed us to use a smooth beveler, a mules foot and a veiner. All the shadiing you see on the skull, such as in the eye sockets, etc., is done by cross hatching with very fine cuts to create the illusion of shadow. Bob Well Bob smokes the competition and sweeps all the top awards!! Yet another swivel knife is added to his already huge collection and once again I am left speechless by his incredible skill and finesse. The man is AWESOME.What is a body to do?? I think I am going down to the shop and turn a wooden pen!! That's funny Bree! And thanks! Bob Ditto all of the above. Very fine work.
