Hello all.  Not sure if I should have posted this in the weird shop animal thread, but had a surprise chance to spend a good part of a day meeting and working with an extremely talented smith from Bolivia, Freddy Rodriguez.  And as to help me remember, I managed to get one of his pure iron elephant heads.  If you've never seen any of his work, do a google, he's got skills!

ian - yeah, "wow" was my thought all day.  Still today, even.  He's a really nice guy.  I recommend searching out pics of his work if you haven't seen it.  He's done busts of famous smiths, he is a truly gifted artist and smith. 

As far as what I'm making?  The chantrelles are out so I'm still playing with small Damascus mushrooming knives.  And the holiday season is steadily marching closer, and (at risk of being crass) it seems as if my folks liked the springtime because all of my siblings were born in November and December, so this year is going to be the year of the Damascus gifts.

 

ausfire - It started as a 3"+/- length of 1 1/4" square.
