    Sorry to hear Brian and Dave won't be at the GTG.

    Yes, Steve makes some beautiful knives!! His family must have a lot of fun as they all are talented.

    Just put the final coat of oil and a coat of wax on the board. Non slip feet on the bottom . All we need is someone to take this baby home. Can't wait to see you guys in a few days. IMG_20240602_184750497.jpg

    That thing has so much depth, looking at it you'd actually expect to feel the high and low points.

    Very nice work.
    :yes:

    Definitely bring a good appetite with you. The food is phenomenal and you won't go home hungry.
