blacksmith rebar
I saw an african knife on ebay with curlys on the butt. I started playin with a piece of rebar and ended with this. They were even but I broke one off by hammering too cold.

For awhile every image I viewed was really dark. I would take the pic into photo shop, lighten it up and send it to the person who posted it. I thought I was doing good till I got supisious because everyone else seemed to have no problem. I asked Coop about it and sent him some samples. He sent me a pic of a grey scale to set my computer to. At first my screen was really brite, but now it seems fine. if mine is screwed up again please let me know.
Here is a pic of the grey scale he sent me. Coop said you should have distintive variation from one end of the scale to the other. Grey scale (click here) __________________ "Many are chosen, but few are Pict" "The doer alone, learneth" NT Neo-Devo

Nice work!
Good looking piece. We need a 'rebar knife' contest 'round here!
Gene, Like Roc said, maybe you can adjust your monitor a bit. The photo isn't bright, but I can see all the details, regardless. Go to the previous image for a better view.
