carbide_burnisher.jpgZaffuto burnisher -- two weeks later, repaired142 viewsTruth time. That piece of plum used to make this handle turned out to be a bit less seasoned than I thought -- went away for a weeks vacation, and when I returned it had a 4" x 1/16" crack down down 80% of the handle, propagating from a little knot. Kerfed out the crack with a saw and 3/32" chisel, patched it with a strip of cherry, shaped the patch to match, and I can use it without getting pinched. Charlie Driggs

IMG_0519.jpgWizard cane142 viewsThis cane was carved from a western red cedar blank, and is beautifully done. Generates a response in nearly anyone who sees it, and usually a smile. A well-appreciated surprise gift from a fellow Galoot and good friend.Charlie Driggs

IMG_2349s.jpgtrip haul - July 200970 views$17 for the new stuff (including 8% state & local tax I wouldn't have paid at home), but the real gems were the three in front -- 1837 I&LJ White turning skew with a shattered handle, and a straight & hefty timber chisel (does a 2" wide / several pound of steel sans handle example qualify as a timber slick?) with a broken off handle and the obligatory spot of green paint, plus another 80M scraper for upgrading.
