OK Crew:
I'm off in the AM for a short vacation, if you want to call plowing around the "Mouse House" with a daughter and 3 Grandaughters a vacation. I'll return to these forums on Friday (perhaps Thursday evening if I'm done with the oxygen by then)...in the meantime:
Obviously, we're building a Model #10-5" with custom-supplied lignum vitae handle and a waxed "pouch style" sheath. This past week I took our piece of "LV" down to Gene Beal's shop and carefully had it cut to size. Photos below show the "start-to-finish" of our handle material. Thanks for Gene (and Rick) for helping out.
Best, Capt. Chris
