Hoy's Forge Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hey Daniel Great stuff! I have a question..... What kind of finish did you use on the sheath with the scroll work. Is that shoe polish ? or oil? Really clean lines on yall's stuff, and nice eye patch ARRGGGGHHH www.hoyfamily.net Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.Lu 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Geoff Hardy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ok that storm trooper cigarette case makes me want to smoke again. You guys have a really cool style , blade geometry is awesome !! It looks like japanese meets elvish Lord of the California rolls ! Lol Leatherwork is great and that is a bad ass eye patch! The blacksmith and the artist reflect it in their art. They forge their creativity,closer to the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielStowe Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Ok that storm trooper cigarette case makes me want to smoke again. You guys have a really cool style , blade geometry is awesome !! It looks like japanese meets elvish Lord of the California rolls ! Lol Leatherwork is great and that is a bad ass eye patch! Ha Ha I literally laughed at the Japanese meets elvish lord of the California rolls part. Hilarious! I've never heard that one before, but I dig it. The storm trooper case was a custom order request I made for a guy. That was my first crack at it, but I think it came out awesome. Thank you for the compliments!

DanielStowe Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thank you all for the compliments! Dylan, All the scroll work is hand carved with a couple swivel knives. case the veg tanned tooling leather, grab a swivel knife and go at it. A few of the designs I draw by hand first to give me something to look at while tooling, the others are just done freehand from my noggin.
