Momatt Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This little guy was my first bolster and first mosaic pin try. There was a giant oak near the town I grew up in called old knarly. It stood sentinel for at least two hundred years at the crossroads outside town. Lightning took it down and it burned like a blow torch as it was hollow in the late 90s. I took a few pieces of its charred remains and they have been in my shop for years. Old knarly makes up the scales. The blade was forged from 1080 and I got the heat treat and temper right this Time, it holds an edge chopping hard dry maple and is sharp. Easily makes a wire edge after honing which laps off on leather stop. Too bad I ground off most of my stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
