Man thats a great blade. I wish I was handy in making things like that. And for all of you good folks out there who want to help my feelings by saying I just need to try, practice and so on. I have, and almost earned the nicname stumpy a few times. There really is no hope for me. :grin:

Skyline,I get lucky sometimes when it goes with antler.I had to break quite few off because they do not look right or just do not feel good in the hand.Hawkthrower I make a mold useing cardboard that come with the sand paper.And the painters masking tape. Thank you all for the nice words.
