Thanks again, guys, (and gal  ;D) Dana, that wood came from a small half-dead red maple I cut that had burls growing all over the lower trunk. It's not all birds-eye, but there's a lot of areas of birds-eye pattern scattered throughout the wood.

Very Nice Steve.  I've got a big chunk of red slag glass, maybe some blood wood for a handle.   :-\

Mike, the bloodwood would be appropriate, I usually lose some blood every time I knap glass.  :)

  Steve, you did a great job on that one. Those flake scars look great and it look's like you pulled out some micro-tools for that edgework.

     Ditto as to what the others said.  Absolutely awesome!  And as for the wood grain, beautiful.  And is it only me and my vivid imagination, or do you see a T-Rex with it's mouth open, and his little left arm hanging there?  Honest, I just one little can of Miller Lite, with my balogna sandwhich......
