Thank you, Jesse!

Robby, Satine would be more like Shakespeare in Klingon, perhaps?

"Tach pa. Tach pae" (To be. Or not to be.)


You're right

[Sir Roger Tuson]

As always, loving your work, Rachel. And even though that first leather whip was just an 'experiment', I'm certain we'll be seeing more leatherwork coming from you in the future.

Aha!! I knew it!!!

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you, Sir Roger!

It's getting a little more clear that the scientist on Qo'noS have perfected the "human body exoskeleton disguise". It's now legendary.

I apologize for further hijacking this thread but I could not resist.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled programing.

Ron that's hilarious!!!


Handle, 18" handcut bloodwood. Sanded to 600 grit and ready for a few layers of tung oil.

Here was just fine tuning a couple things:


Done sanding (my favorite part of sanding!! Makes it so shiny)

[Ron May]

That handle is beautiful Rachel.
I have no idea of how you get such good concentric form.

[Roy Partin]

A beautiful piece of wood shaped by talented hands. It sure shined up. Well done Rachel

[Rachel McCollough]

Ron, thank you! LOTS of sanding

Thanks Roy, it is a nice piece of wood!I have noticed the longer it sits in open air before you seal it (read that to mean I cut a piece wrong so got some extra practice in...)the darker it will get. I will let this piece sit some and we will see what it does before I rub the tung oil on it.

[Sven van Leeuwen]

That piece of wood sure must be proud to sit in your vice.
It turned from regular into a beautiful handle.
That's very nice Rachel.

[Geoffrey Tucker]

Great work Rachel

[Rachel McCollough]

Sven, thank you, it never ceases to amaze me the difference sanding makes!

Thanks, Geoffrey!

[Sven van Leeuwen]

I can see it does Rachel. I didn't know that either.

Sven, my Mom builds cabinets from time to time and my Dad does the finish work. It was always a lot of fun helping, but I would be in HUGE trouble if I skipped a step in sanding or something else- it will leave scratches. I guess I was lucky that I got conditioned to that early on, never skip a step or try to take a shortcut on something when you're right at the end, especially. All the hard work and then to leave scratches... My Dad would jerk a knot in my tail!

[Scott A. Cary]

That wood is beautiful, Rachel! Nice work.

[Rachel McCollough]

Thanks, Scott!

[Jessie Edwards]

[Rachel McCollough]
