Dave Stephens Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I just popped over to Jake's website. He has a stunning new single edged Viking sword displayed. http://www.powning.com/jake/commish/oneedgemono1.shtml Jake . . . hope you don't mind me pointing people to your work! Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
