One done, three in W.I.P., one day to go [Feb. 13th, 2008|12:10 am]

I finished the last of the pattern welded tomahawks for the show, today. That just leaves three more that I will be able to complete in time.





Whats left to finish is two Viking knives, base on the Gotland digs and a late period Ballock knife. I polished, etched, and assembled them today. Tomorrow, after the epoxy cures over night, all that is left to do is finish shaping the handles, polishing the brass and oiling the wood, and at last, marking and sharpening the blades. I should be able to finish that all pretty early, then finish packing (started today) and then take a nap. Because my flight takes off at a way to early hour on Thursday morning. Which mean I have to get up at O-Dark 30, to be at the airport the prescribed amount of time in advance.

it goes without saying that I'll miss seeing all my SCA friends going to the Estrella War this weekend. It also goes without saying, that if they try to hold the knife show this early in the mo0nth again,,,,,,, well I'll just pack up my knives, my wifes amber and hats, and go to Estrella instead.
