Schwert-
Good to see your work. You're a Lucky man - No better teacher anywhere than David Morgan. I lived north of you in Mt Vernon up until 1995. I first met David in 1987 when I went to his old store in Ballard. Visited him several times after that and he was always willing to show me a braiding trick or two.
For those who don't know, David Morgan is the man who made the Indiana Jones bullwhip. He is an absolute master. I watched in awe one time when with nothing more than a sharp knife and his long thumbnail as a guide he cut a 24' TAPERED strip from a circle of roo hide and then turned and grinned, "See it's easy!" Yah Shoor as they say in Ballard!
I'll be anxious to see your pictorial.
Chuck

The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher. It celebrates the knife it houses.
