Subforum for this smith is wanted!

I love his work, and would like to have a subforum for him



Also I suggest a subforum for the japanes smiths, like shigefusa, heiji....

 

[Dave Martell]

I'm all for this, just requires the maker's participation is all.

 

[Eamon Burke]

I agree! Let's petition him!

 

[tk59]

That would be really cool.

 

[mattrud]

Bill burke!!! Bill burke!!

 

[Dave Martell]

Does anyone have Bill's email?

 

[oivind_dahle]

I can contact him, as I also have a order at him.

Bill Burke is one of my favs. He skills are far beyon most others.
For me its important that he shows his work.


Dave:
I would like to have a gallery of each subforum, without posibility to comment. Just to have their work at one place

[mattrud]

Amazing stuff Bill! Can not wait to see more and here your thoughts!

 

[UglyJoe]

Wait, Bill doesn't have his own subforum yet? FOR SHAME!

 

[Jim]

Welcome Bill!

 

[Dave Martell]

I moved this thread out of the site feedback section since it's turning into more of a knife talk thread.

 

[oivind_dahle]

I was hoping for his own subforum

I was hoping for his own subforum

Bill's been offered his own sub-forum.

We shouldn't pressure him to accept this though. He may have good reasons for not being able to take on his own sub forum and we should respect his wishes.


*Note on Knifemaker's sub-forums....Knifemakers making good kitchen knives are welcome to have their own sub-forums here with the only requirement being participation of themselves within their sub-forum. We are not going to make galleries for makers, this costs money in storage disc space used. The goal is to build a community while supporting knifemakers the best we can but we have to strike a balance somewhere. I suspect that this will have to be addressed more and more as the forum grows in size.

Don't worry Colin you will be hearing from me soon.:biggrin:

 

[Marko Tsourkan]

Good to see you here, Bill. I heard I will see one of your knives up close very soon and will make a saya for it. Will have to match the horn with a tiger maple wood. Look forward to it. I am a big fan of your and Devin work, so this will be fun.
