You're right

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!!!

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)

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

Ron

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

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.

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.

Great work Rachel

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

Thanks, Geoffrey!

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!

That wood is beautiful, Rachel! Nice work.

Thanks, Scott!

pretty color!

Thanks, WS!

Really good looking wood Rachel!
