well i posted some of these pieces up six weeks or so back when everything got lost,so i shall try again,and glad to see things are back to normal again.
A lot of new work has been coming out of my shop for the past couple of years so i wanted to share a few of the pieces that i have really enjoyed working on.

i was really happy with that one Tim,it was a challenge to get those fullers to work,i ended up making a first blade that was not up to scratch,this was the second attempt,for another chap called Tim actually.

I also love the fullers and the nicely shaped handle.
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

So many beautiful things.
I especially like the Type XX, and the Jertho Tull sword really takes me back.
