Cannot.. stop.. drooling..

I do not see mention of this one on his site. Is it new, sold, still available?

Jake mentioned that it was going to someone in Scandanavia.

Yeah, I think it is going to the person that bought the carved seax he did a while back (if I didn't misunderstand what Jake said on another forum, anway.) Really a beautiful sword you made, Jake. Makes me want to take up pattern welding one of these days, just looking at it. :)

Sometimes people come up with things I cannot even imagine. This is one of those times.

:eek: My God the thing is stunning!

Jake sure is one talented carver and bladesmith. It really brings out teh green eyed monster in me knowing that jake gets wood, does an dtemplate and then chizels therse pieces of art out time and time again. I wish I was that talented..

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to make swords like that. Amazingly, beautiful work. But why doesn't it have a fuller?

Absolutely beautiful!! Hats off to Mr. Powning, this is the most distinctive sword and scabbard I've ever seen. How long did this take to craft?

Is it just me who can't get through to the website listed on Thomas' first post? I keep on coming up with "website coming soon".

Hi Thomas,

It still comes up with "this site planned for development"-- go figure!

David

Today it works!
