Many thanks for your kind words.

and thanks for a great offer Andy, i'll deffo have a think about shape, but i'm pretty sure i want to try forging a stick tang.

Dave i'm already looking round on here for someone who can make me a nice tan left handed leather sheath with belt loop as i dont feel confident enough to try one just yet.

ten times better in the daylight,....(*note to self , take better pictures of my own work!!)

the laburnum is so warm,...

in these pics i would say its a lot like Yew (not just as its poisonous) in its grain pattern and warmth,...

again, well done and as said,.....Give it some hammer now!!! hahaha

Yes hopefully soon too depending when my stuff from the DD group buy turns up i may get to the meet, if not then it will be april before i get a proper chance to use it.

I'll be going to the local woodland on saturday to try my hobo stove out, so it'll get an outing then

Cheers Stu, i always find daylight helps, the flash just makes everything too light. oh and macro mode helps with the close ups too (the button is usually a little picture of a flower)
