Late Christmas Present
Today I got a late Christmas present!
Several months ago, a wood-carving friend expressed interest in sgian dubhs, and asked for some examples. So, I went on line and downloaded many images of different sgian dubhs. I gave him the print-outs, and promptly forgot about it.
Today, I was at his house to assist in another project and he presented me with the handle and asked if I had a blade for it. Well, what do you know? – I did.
Below is the blade before I epoxy it together. Pretty!

Sounds cool. Hope it all goes together well.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Very nice carving. You're getting quite the collection.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Very nice. It's good to have a friend that will reward you with a nice piece like that. You'll have to invite him over for some good single malt as a reward to him.
