Hey everybody, been awhile, my new puppy has been keeping me pretty busy ( actual puppy, not a Scrapyard, a Welsh Corgi goes by the name, Darwin aka Pork Chop). Anyways, recently Burl Source has had some sweet sales and I just couldn't pass up on some great deals on so stabilized Redwood Burl. Everyone knows I love my Zilla, it is, in my opinion, the best chopper to come out of Wauseon. My only problem is I'm not crazy about G10, and I've often thought of sending her in for some micarta or wood. So I figured I'd give it a go myself, what e heck, if I don't like it, I'll send her in for a proper job, but I'm pretty confident since I've rehandled a few knives already. Enough babbling, heres a couple WIP pics, in a few days it should be done (time permitting) enjoy

Popped her slabs off, ( she looks so naked<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />)


Here are her replacements, sexy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


Perfect size for these monster slabs


Can't wait for tomorrow for a bit of preliminary shaping


I felt bad I didn't take any WIP pics of the skizzy, so I wanted to make sure I did this one right
