Tulip and Marblewood, mmmm!

thanks brother! they are even more beautiful in person!

a little departure from what's become the norm. i almost forgot how beautiful the right wood is!

Great looking scales! Has Rick ever seen your work?

Thank you!

i believe he has.

i talk to Rob (Rick's right hand) three or four times a month and consider him a good friend, and we've spoke about my work before.

Nice - I always enjoy talking to the Hinderer guys at the New York shows. Great guys.

Indeed!!!

extremely great people! and, Rob is one of the funniest people i know, he cracks me up every time i talk to him!!!

Beautiful :thumbsup:

Thanks you!!!

That marble wood is NIIIICEEE! It would be awesome if I could get those handles on a bark river bravo 1 knife.

Beautiful woodworking skills! Staying clear of buying fine knives is a constant battle for me. You're pics made today a hard day to avoid BForums. Have you ever thought of making scales for "lesser" knives?

I'm sure you do, but it's funny how much you do talk on the phone and how short yours posts are!

I talked to Jeff about the knife scales he makes and am considering having one made for my XM-18 and considering a set for my Benchmade 525 as well.

He's very, very knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects aside from just knives. If you ever talk to him you'll find out that he's quite the talker he's also good at listening to other talkaholics!

Thanks brother! i'll try to give you a call again tomorrow (or today...i lost track!). I'll try not to talk my battery dead this time!!!

Funny thing is, we didn't even really talk about the scales! being a talkaholic is a disease!
