Where's that block of pheasant wood?
In my basement. 6500 miles away.
We're going with the original block for #11, & Butch's micarta for the Glestain from Hell, no? :scratchhead:

Oh I must have missed the decision to go with the original block, sorry about that. Hey maybe I can find something cool to go with it up front.

Aaron, your scales are mounted.

Aaron your knife is done. I just need to take some pictures tomorrow, let's hope for good weather.

And I can't wait to show you it.
LOL - it does sound pretty bad when re-reading the last couple of posts.
It didn't present any problems and was pretty straight forward except that it got lighter during buffing. It went from a pretty dark brown to a much lighter reddish brown. That's really unusual since most woods go darker when buffed. I was happy with this though, it made for a nicer look. Regarding the figuring/character/movement - there's a lot going on that the camera never got near capturing. I'm sure that Aaron's going to be dazzled by the wood in person.
I should also note that it's pretty oily wood and maybe that's why it doesn't shine to the max?
I've just finished up Sean's suji. I hope to have pictures posted tomorrow.
Ahhh that Tinh!
So where is #6? I NEED to check out this knife in LA next weekend!
Number 4 is already in LA. In fact, if you are going to Jon's store its only a few blocks away. I could leave it with Jon if you wanted to check it out and #6 is not ready yet. Let me know.

You forgot to turn the grinder off when reaching for your 4th whiskey sour.
You closed your eyes to sing along with the Jonas Brothers and ground off the edge.
You overheated it because you were stoned and using it to cut a pizza on a stone in the oven, then got so distracted by the pizza that you left the knife in the oven, which you also left on and it blew the temper.
You were stress-testing the handle fitment and snapped the blade in half.
You had a perfectly rounded spine going, and then realized the knife was upside down.
