Paul42` Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bob! I'd love to see the process for carving out the bird & branch. Is this done with a power tool or is it all hot work??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mayo Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bob! I'd love to see the process for carving out the bird & branch. Is this done with a power tool or is it all hot work??? Actualy i did no hot work on this knife it is all stock removal. I started by drilling out every bit i could than cut the remaining web out with a jewelers saw,filed it till the outline of the bird,branch and leaves were there and the rest was done with a demel tool and carbide dental burrs.
