A little late but better than never
« on: January 09, 2018, 12:58:43 pm »
We've had a serious family crisis that has required a lot of my time for about the last month. This is a late Christmas present. It's TV on a cholla handle. The button is English walnut and red cedar. I hope my recipient likes it. I was planning for more but I'm afraid this will have to do.

Absolutely!  That's a great image!

Thanks JW, it was a beautiful day today. 24 degrees sunny and no wind. Man it felt good after all the cold and wind we've been  having. Last week it would have been a indoors picture.

That's a good one Brian.  Nice job on the blade and the cholla handle.

Thanks Hawkdancer. It's been a strange Christmas Season this year. I started out really in the Christmas Spirit but then things happened that just didn't make it feel like Christmas anymore. It's been a really difficult time and looking forward to better.

Thanks Zuma, I didn't mean to be a downer. It's just one of those huge bumps in the road. My daughter is having a very though spell. She has taken a huge step now she needs to take a whole bunch of small ones. She can use some prayers. We all can use some prayers. Thanks so much and I'll probably PM you when I get more time. I'll still try to spread some joy. Everything is moving in the right direction. It just moves a bit slow.

Bj,  I hope you family situation gets better for you.

I love the knife! I had a piece of cholla cactus on a bow handle last summer.  I filled all the little holes with epoxy mixed with some turquoise rit dye.  It turned out Sweet! Just a thought, but you probably already sent it off. Someone will be very Happy for sure!
