New carver blades started

[FGYT]

Have been modifying my Carving blades based on the North american Indian Crooked blades

here are the cut blanks ready to bend HT and sharpen

addresses a few problems brought up by green woodworkers




left is the Hadjia Style the mounted ones have to short a tang for some with the front mounting hole to close to the edge the new blank has a bigger tang and set back mounting holes blank is cut large but can be ground down to smaller pointier shapes if required


center is a spoon blade blank designed for Robin woods spec

Right is a monster Hadjia blade 4.5mm thick 100mm blade length definatly a 2 handed job will be interesting to try on some logs


Also had some of my Carvers featured in a Magazine 'Living Woods'
