ok all thats left now is the finishing lol i just have to stain and seal the handle and it will be finished. Rough shaping pics ok next pics will be shined blade and final shape for the hanlde which is oak i am tossing tis idea up in my mind. maybe i should take that part of the handle on the top of the blade closer to the highth of the blade

Howdy,
I went through the thread, and felt compelled to throw a thought into the breeze..I live 2000 miles from you folks, so I feel qualified to state my position as a disinterested individual. If a potential student can't find the energy to respond to an invitation from an established craftsman in real words, I would personally go out of my way to dis-invite the newbie from my shop. Lose the text-speak.
