Ahoy peeps.:beerchug:
Just t' show ye that I ain't bin idle in me days o' bordom waitin' fer me next bit o' work t' come along.
I was given some antler from a shipmate, (a full heads worth!). So I set about rehandlin' his SAK fer 'im. Now I'm not the best crafts'n in the west, so I'll accept tips but not t' much crittin'
as I'm sensitive an' prone t' violent behaviour wi' a cutlass:D
Phill's SAK.

So, after gettin' that one done. I thought I'd do a bit more by replacin' me FAK-SAK shells.

Nowt wrong with that capt'n! Darn fine work... Although I was expecting scrimshaw too... ;)
I like that firesteel, (not that I don't like the SAKs as well) is that a leather or cloth washer round the join?
Nice work there Cap'n.....

Amazing work. Dremels are GREAT. I've used mine for everything from plumbing (those cut off wheels are great for squeeing into tight spots) to glass etching... I hate working with bone and antler with it though, the smell always reminds me of the dentist. ;)
