Just thought I'd share this. Totally different to my normal style but I like how it's going so far. First time I've made mosaic pins too so something new that I've enjoyed doing

Handle has been shaped more and oiled now. Doesn't seem to photograph too well but in person the mahogany really pops with the oil
Wow, that's looking good mate, your keeping busy I see
Thanks Al! Hard to resist the urge to braze a bolster on there because it's the first I've made without one. Overall I'm pleased with how it's turned out and so is the customerOriginally Posted by bopdude

Horses for courses mate, as long as they're happy
Aye that's true mate. Going to a really nice lad too went through every aspect of design with him and it's gone really smoothly start to finish. And since I don't charge much it means people are happy to try out some more exotic materials, it's a win win situation!Horses for courses mate, as long as they're happy
That looks absolutely amazing Mick!!
Thank ye kindly beermaker. A lot of work but ultimately worth it I think. And I've proved they don't have to cost the earth!
Makes me wonder if the sword 'Serpent Breath' in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales series with Uhtred was a damascus type. You just 'gotta love the cool shapes in the steel....well-done

Thank you! Personally I prefer Damascus when it isn't etched quite so deep, but the customer wanted a real mirror on black etch sothats what he got! I have to admit I do like it and think the mosaic pins will come into play more often in my work from now on
