Geoff Keyes 700 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This is a piece from a couple of years ago. A fellow ordered it and then dropped out of sight, so it hung on a hook. I finally got up enough interest to finish it. It still needs a bit of polish here and there and some more Tung oil. OL 27" BL 11 Steel 5160 stabilized walnut and curly maple It's a total beast chopped through 2x4's with no problem and no edge issues, cuts 2 inch alder saplings in a single stroke. It is for sale, but I really don't know what to ask. As usual, thanks for looking Geoff 6 "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that.

James Helm 119 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I've had the same thing happen upon occasion, a customer that just disappears, even once with a carcass splitter. Very annoying to be sure, but I've been lucky to have other folks buy the abandoned blades in a timely fashion. Hope you don't have to wait for someone to snag yours. I like how it turned out! The scroll on the end is a nice touch. James Helm - Helm Enterprises, Forging Division Come see me at the Blade Show! Table 26R.
