Playing with Keokuk

(1/3) > >>

Majuba Tom:
1st 2 pic's are a Dalton and 2 blades I made this weekend.

The 2nd 2 are of a Ulu knife I am working on. I had some hinging and thinning issues but it still looks good. The handle is still drying. I will probably have it glued on in a few hours. I wish it was bigger but isn't that always the case. :o

Tom , lookin real good, I like the Ulu, nice. Bob

cowboy:
All looking nice! Wish I had a way to heat keokuk better, swung by Ratzat's place and got a few buckets a ways back. It just kinda, sits there :o.

Stringman:
Me and keokuck don't get along that well, so when I see work like yours I have much respect!  Nice clean stuff and the knife looks great!

Dalton Knapper:
You did great. A lot of folks like Keokuk and I think it's OK, but I have a lot of trouble thinning it because the flakes that I remove are always thin! That also increases the potential for hinges. Maybe it's the grade of rock I have, but it's hard stuff even heat treated if you ask me. So, your work looks perfectly fine to me.
