I realise that some members here are not members on that site , so if you could just join,, even if it is only for the Auction ,, it would be appreciated, as to try and keep track of the bids over both sites would be a pain . Any problems , you can PM me here , or email me at bigwhitehunter@westnet.com.au The answer to the question on the join up page is " arrow"

Thankyou ,
Jeff
PS , Regardless of whether any of you have Issues with me personally ,, I hope you are big enough to put these aside to help out our fellow Aussies in this time of need .

TTT...
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

It's not much ,, but I had to do something , I suppose it all adds up .
No matter what anyone does ,, it wont bring back the ones that lost their lives ,, which I really wish I could do .

Looks good, I love that drop point design. What wood did you use in the handle?

Great looking knife Coach. I like them about this size - not to much blade to get in the way.

Taking photos of your work is never easy. I must say however, that taking a photo of a knife is easier than taking a photo of a bow. At least you can fit the whole thing in one frame :)

Man, I envy you blokes that can turn out something as beautiful as that out of pieces of steel and wood! Remarkable!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

"GOLDFISH SYNDROME" I have a very bad case of it. :D I FIND bits of wood at a lot of the places I have to go for work and many people are keen enough to give me some but even if they tell me what they are I have forgotten before I get them home.I do love nice wood though and what you have done with it.Very nice grinds on the blade too.
Cheers KIM
