Murray Report post Posted June 19, 2013 Hey all, Here are some projects I finished recently. The two bible covers are for a friends son who is headed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. One cover features the official Dept of the Navy seal and the other the revered USN Anchor. The other (photo collage) is of two notebook covers. A fathers day gift. Thanks for checking them out - enjoy. Murray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfroCrafter Report post Posted September 23, 2013 Hey Murray, I was looking for a way of putting a scripture onto a bible cover for a friend and have just seen your excellent swivel knife work. Really stunning work. I am working on getting my carving more refined and it is work like this that sets a great bench mark. Also love the way you incorporate the swivel knife cuts and the emblem to get the fine chain work to stand out. You've opened my eyes to many possibilities. Gotta go practice now Thanks Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murray Report post Posted September 23, 2013 Wow, Thanks Alex, I'm humbled by your words. I wish you the best of luck in your design work. If ever I can help out, please feel free to ask. I'm no pro, but what I know I will gladly share. Thanks again Murray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
