I got the bug back in the spring after a 'Have a go' suggestion from another member here and with a lot of help from people on this site and recommenedations for sourcing materials - as well as a great helping hand from G4GHB (thanks again Graham) I have a few to show.

I'm still developing. I know what I need to improve and I have two more with Mick Wardell blades which I'll post pics of when I've finished them.

Once again fellas - thanks for all the help. I get a lot out of this.

The one on the left is a Laplander 75 I made for my wife with a chestnut handle.

The middle is a 90 for a friend from Golden Lacewood (from Englishrose222) with matching firesteel and the right is a laplander 115 which is owned by another friend with Oak burl handle (thanks bushwacker Bob).

Lovely work Rich. I particularly like that Lacewood. The "bug" will bite good and proper soon and we'll see you making your own blades too. (Ask me how I know... )

Those are nice blades to work with and you've done a much better job than I did!
I just don't get on with the 90 as a user So I had to buy something else
