Default Knife Set

Here is my latest effort; cherry burl, natural finish.
Made for a very patient customer.

I should add:
The customer provided the Cherry burl and designed the knives.
All I did was make them.

your too modest, "All you did is make them" that would be like me saying the customer provided the tree all I did was make the sculpture. You sir are a true artist in more ways than one. And I am proud to say I own several of your creations.

Here comes Santa Claus,

I agree with Colin too, by the way.
