Tim Zowada Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hello! It looks like I'm the new guy here. My name is Tim Zowada I have been making custom knives professionally since 1982. I specialize in forged blades, Damascus steel and home smelted bloomery steel. I have known Jim Kelso for a very long time. I have always been captivated by his work. I have finally come to the place where I can start experimenting with carving and engraving. I have a lot to learn. But, I can see there is a lot of great information on this forum. Here is my first attempt at this sort of work: Blade: Home smelted Timahagane and meteorite with pine branch engraving. Scales: Mammoth ivory with Copper pine cone. I look forward to all the opportunities here. If anyone ever needs help with forging steel, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you, Tim Zowada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hello Tim, Your first attempt is a very elegant one. Your choice to create an inset for the engraved copper works visually as well as functionally, making a sleek profile that lays flat. Welcome!
