Wow! Nice !  I need to add one of those to me Christmas list.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

I like! Really nice job on that, Curt!
Love that first pic with the sky in the background.
You got some great color out of that. I need to get more precise with my heat treating
instead of just seeing what it will do overnight in the woodstove.

That is an excellent point and i really like the color.
In working in stone i find my past, in giving of the blood i pay for the future.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  THANKS for all the kind words,,,,,,Joe over on PP some body was talking about cooking it to 930 F and some of what I had cut on the half's and cook to 650 was a little tough for FOG so I recooked it at 930 and it slicked up very nice.....I bought a old pottery kiln and made a controller out of parts from ebay....

thats cool piper.
 If i knock out some gezan blanks could i send them to you for grinding?
On a trade or something? I don't know how hard it is to grind but I'd like to make some gezan ripple flaked blades.
