Don,
Very nice job. The carving and paint job are both very good. I love all of the different things that people carve and display on the forum. I would never have thought of carving a back scratcher, if you don't mind I'd like to add one to my list of things to try. Thanks for sharing your carving.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Your knives. I like your knives.I carve with a stockman with red bone handles a Walden Knife Co. 1874-1902 Had broke blades which was great for me,I ground them down anyway and such fine blades in them and hold a edge thats unreal. I collect old knives and have 4 glass cases of Old Case knives,some circle C's also.I always have liked knives,buy them when I find one I like ever now and then..Just collect them and other things for my children and grandbabies.I date them and price them so they wont sell them for $3.00. LOL
