Nice! I would have totally overdone that, with excessive decorative cuts, etc. etc. etc.  Now I know what it SHOULD look like. Thanks!

 

Thank you!  I'm not a fan of too many decorative cuts, but that's just my quirk.  I do use them, but when I do it's minimal--some would say I don't use enough.  I think it's all a matter of personal taste.  One thing I learned was not to get too tangled up in "rules."  Paddle your own canoe! ;)

HEY.. this looks good, Bruce! Love the color.

 

Thanks, Jeff!  100% Neatsfoot oil and a few hours of Florida sunshine!

What weight did you use? and you should bottle that Florida sunshine.. it does a good job. I also noticed the effective lack of decorative cuts. I think I need to try toning mine down and see how it goes on one or two.

It's 7/8 oz. Hermann Oak.  

Hope it's starting to warm up in Ontario.  I've been to Thunder Bay a few times--that is some beautiful country!

Thanks and yes it is getting warmer here and still very wet...unusually wet... so now humid. I am in TO but have been up north a lot and yes it is beautiful country.

Really nice work and thanks for the added info.

Looks really good Bruce, nice job!

Thanks, Josh!  I enjoyed this one--I need the practice, and these are like little canvases. ;)

Looks like you're getting plenty of practice to me! I really like the Sheridan carving and the holster looks very functional in addition to the excellent carving, fit and finish. Really an all around great job!

Thank you, sir.  I enjoy the pattern drawing itself, and the challenge of filling the space.
