Merry Xmas Clovis!
« on: December 15, 2010, 05:45:46 pm »
Well after a long struggle with Fluting I finally figured it out!  I am so excited that I was able to finally get to flute both side correct.  The show side is better ,,,of course but, both side fluted clear to the tip!!!  HOORAY!!!  Its about 5" long .  Well gotta run almost late for work!

WOW thanx guys I know for some of u it aint no big deal but I have struggled to getting this right!  I for sure was making it a personal goal to accomplishing this feat.  Yes sir I can cross this off from the list but its also an addiction and for those who know ...know exactly what I mean...  Jesse I want to get the cumberland down one day ... The northern style cumberland didnt look as fancy as the ones down ur way ... maybe will try the Northumberland as it was only fluted to the tip on the one side...  Merry XMAS GUYS!
