Wick, excellent work as usual. As MM said, hope I can copy (at least the design) the measure, but mine won't be as nice looking! :thumbsup: Now, lemme see...which antler do I want to screw up, I mean fashion into a beautiful, functional work of art like that? :hmm:MeteorMan said:

"Whats wrong there buddy? Did i touch a nerve?
Nice measure, now you need to make a leash for your flints"
Now that's a fact. I think I need to glue them in with J&B WELD.

Thank you all for your generous comments. Geez, I never expected such response for a simple powder measure. Maybe I need to give up knives, and go to producing measures. Thankyou all again. I genuinely appreciate your response. I honestly didn't think it was that special. Thanks. I somehow feel humbled, or just surprised. I guess, somehow, every now and then, I just stumble on the unexpected. A genuine thankyou to all.

You do good work!
(for a old guy) :wink:
I am fortune enough to visit Wicks shop on a regular basis, he has remarkable talant, you would be amazed at some of the things he has made and the craftmanship involved. Plus he is as nice a guy that you could ever meet.
Im not a spokes person for his knives or trying to push his wares(his work does that on its own)
But if you are at a event look him up and pay a visit, his work will blow you away! :bow:
Thats the last kind words you are getting out of me, my friend!! Dont get use to it! :wink:

:shocked2: NO! I've got two trade knife kits ordered! :shocked2: Set the antler down and back away, slowly. :grin: :rotf:
Seriously, that is fine work Wick. I am amazed how even and fluid the flute lines are. I've tried and just can't get mine even and smooth flowing like that. Very find work.
I like that color as well. Did you have to rub the color of the high spots a bit or did the dye just "take" to the low spots more?
And keep working that antler!
I grabbed a file, a piece of antler tip and a pencil and all I can say is, many are called but few are chosen. Wick, you're the pure quill.
