That is beautiful, you are definitely a craftsman.
AntwortenLöschenNice looking pair of knives Markus. I like that Oak! I have used Bog Oak, whick is black from being submerged in acidic waters for thousands of years, but never the red version of it! You're a lucky devil :-)
AntwortenLöschen@joel: It´s a local variety, so to speak;-). There are many mines around the Bethaus, and the oak comes out of a long abandoned shaft only recently restored for public recognition. Don´t know how Viktor came by it, but then he is a Russian, and that means he is somewhat resourceful;-). Seems I have somewhat gained his respect, and that matters even more to me than the privilege to work with the material. But that means another responsibility for my work, and I am not so content with the results as always.
AntwortenLöschenBut maybe I am just being stubborn. It means a lot to me that you all appreciate this as much as you do, and it is very much welcome for I hope to contribute something to this network and do something good apart from boosting my ego...;-)
Thanks!
