Colin, yes! and I'm waiting to get my grubby hands on it, been looking forward to engraving it for a long time.

Dan I don't have a picture of the dovetailing for this Whiskey Jack,
But here is another Whiskey Jack picture that shows the dovetailing nicely.

Yes Jon, that a good one, its the one I used for the bolsters for my Summer KITH. I know that I have not fitted it my waywood blade but if I could follow it anyone can.

I was right :moon: :nana:

it's an interesting piece because it seems to go from tiger stripe to burl ... it was the tiger stripe section that really gave it away. :)
