Hi Ron,
A few years back when the herniated disc’s in my neck stopped me from doing just about everything because of the intense pain in my neck, shoulder and arm I thought I’d never managed again. Guess what, I’m working on two knives right now. It’s like riding a bike. Rescale projects l’m replacing wood with green abalone and black lip mop. Get back on your bike it’s fun.

Thanks Tom, I’m close to finishing both knives. I just need to make time to do the last few steps.
