OT: The latest Christmas gift out of my wood shop

[grandpawrichard]

I made this wooden pocket knife for my wife's Uncle as a joke. His pocket knives all have blades that have less of an edge as this one does. I am forever sharpening his knives for him and he is forever cutting himself with them after I put a Razor edge on the blades. I guess some people should not be around really Sharp knives!

Thanks Dieseler! Making pipes out of Briar is an art and a skill that I have never tried out yet! Some day when I'm not so busy being retired I plan on giving it a try!

It was fun and there were some beautiful birdseye straightgrain and flame pieces that came out of the blocks .
I have seen some pics here and there of box mods mad out of various woods and those look very nice on the forum.
