Absolutly beautiful, very nice set.

I love the carving, very nice and clean...Did you do the stiching by hand?

Tool used on stems is an unmarked antique tool similar to a hair blade for a swivel knife.

I bought a hair blade for my swivel knife but i found that the antique tool does a better job.

Probably going to have to get my tool maker to make a hair blade. I still want a little more definition.

Tina,

I use an Artisan Toro 4000 for ALL of my stitching. (Yes, I know it would be more impresive if I stitched by hand but I have to stitch a lot!)

Perfection is in the details

Great looking work.

Did you make the pattern for the tooling work or did you get a pattern from somewhere. THat looks really good.

The carving pattern is my own. I studied how scroll patterns are designed, then practiced until I had something I liked.

Thanks

That's where the magic--and the originality happens. In my opinion.

I would have never thought about something like that--it's a cool take on something that's engraved on guns all over the place. Hidden in plain sight, so to speak.

JB's lucky to have you on board. You can't teach that stuff.
