Thanks guys for the nice words. These are far from perfect but I think they are getting a little better IMO. Still have tool to buy that would make every thing better. Home made tools are ok but they have their limits. More to come soon

They all are beauties, and like some of the others here, I like the reclaimed cedar handle the best.
