    Cedar trees here are just orange with pollen and I jinxed myself by telling someone I did not have problems with allegies. Teach me to keep my mouth shut

    I really like that bright blue lapis. Beautiful work, as always.

    NICE!
    I really like the shape of the blade too!

    I hope you get over those allergies Nathan. I went my first 30 years without issues of any kind, then lived in a house that (it turned out) had black mold in the walls. Now for the past 9 or 10 years I have yearly (& severe) allergy issues.

    Taygrd;
    Nice work. Do you have a shop you sell out of? I am in the hill country regularly. Also, do you give lessons? My 15yrs old son would like to learn your craft.

    That is a nice looking sgian. Two weeks ago the mountain cedar count was at 48,000. High is 500. The guy on the news said at that high a level everyone has alergies. Glad it didn't affect the craftsmanship.
