Got a little squirrely on this one

Another beauty…you’re killing me with these.

Got another day of changing out some cracked floor boards at home and your cracking out knives

Thanks mate. yeah I've been feeling rather froggy lately so I've turned out a few.

Both are nice frog and knife.

I have like 500€ of wood scales in my stock, but I finally decided I can't live without ringed gidgee... New mission !

Picked up some Myall a cpl months back. Seems like a darker cousin? Are they similar to work with sanding/finishing wise?

Myall might be a bit harder to work with a touch more of a resin. Both a very dense timber.
Gidgee probably has a better colour when quilting due to being lighter, but Myall can look just as good for the AAA grade pieces

Appreciate it Andy

Just some musings mule-ings.




Hope everyone is having a great day!

Those are going to look great!

Played around with some muriatic acid and some carbon fiber tubes to make a Mule to be different than my usual style. This was a beat up and scratched PD#1 Mule.



Went with some brass shenanigans to go against the blacked out etching.



Fun little project, hope you enjoy

Purple heart handle on M398 Mule.

Did you make this?

Just lumed up some pin holes on my latest. Some sanding left and she’s good to go on the rack with the rest.

Looking good Andy! Gidgee?
