Those are real nice. I've got saws and grinders but hardly ever use them, they are messy.

I will never get the opportunity to try this.... my wife would cut me with the first one I made! She is a stickler for tradition!

Ben I bought the grinder a year ago this month & just got it out. I like how the scar pattern turns out but like Eddie said they do make a mess.

Very Nice! How long did it take you to get the hang of the flaking to get it looking that good?
