Have to say this is really fantastic. Really enjoying it, find myself checking in just to see the choices up for grabs etc. Im sure the chosen 15 are excited about their projects. Fair dues to ya Davy, you'll be a busy man. Gutted I missed this as I was away when it kicked off. Maybe sometime in the future when monies are more abundant i might get in touch about a custom knife.

Goodluck to davy and lads involved.

No walk off a long pier,, but my day finishes at a certain time too

I don't mind dealing with replies, PMs, requests, emails etc but there has to be a limit on the time spent both on the project and on the computer.
I prefer to be in the Workshop actually doing work. I have commisions that need to be worked on. Ask any of the lads who have ordered a commission knife it takes lots of emails to finalize a project Then like everyone else I have to put some time away for the family life.

The various steps we are taking in this project are the exact same steps I take on each commission we are only at step 2

All that said....The next couple of days will be at 5:30 ish

I'll do my best to accomodate everyone but that might not be possible

Hope ye understand

Davy

No bother Davy I know were you are coming from. You have a busy few months ahead of you. Cant wait to see the end result for all 15 knives :eek::D. Its a fantastic project and I cant wait to see it evolve over the coming months.

Thanks Dupont

Just to let you guys know, The blocks of timber you are looking at in the pics are approx 5" (125mm) Long and 1 1/2" (38mm) wide. So the grains and figuring are as you can expect to see in the finished handle. It really is top quality stuff

Was thinking the same thing. It's stunning, but then again davy the quality of all those materials has really left me speechless

:D cant believe you missed out again. Keep the auld head up.

macadam · 15-09-2011 07:39AM

Really enjoying read through this nearly glad now i didnt get in it brilliant.

dwighet · 15-09-2011 09:52AM

All of the timber selections are going to look class once Davy has done his magic.....No one will be dissapointed.

The pics of the timber dont do them justice at all until you see the finished product...

Just google the name of the timber and hit images....then you will see how they will look once sanded and polished....

Example.... look at I (ambonya)

Now look at it all polished up
