@ Dave, A very interesting Site. Thank you for showing us your artistic work. I enjoyed looking.
Thanks for the kind words all. That’s what keeps me sane, is making stuff. Even stuff as insignificant as a snuff spoon. Bob you’re right that there’s no secret to it, it’s just a matter of doing it. Most people think they can’t but I’ve proven some of them wrong in my own shop. I’ve seen high school kids make great knives they never thought they’d finish, and it’s gratifying. Xander, you made me laugh out loud.
Dave you truely are a very talented dude! Awesome knives on your site. My favorite was the skinning axe.
Wow @snuffnpuff, you made my day! That picture of the skinning axe has been published more than any other of my work. I’m glad you like it. Danny actually uses it for skinning deer and has kept it looking like the day he got it. Customers like that are a wonderful thing. Compliments like yours are even better, because they always come out of nowhere, like a charm. Cool man, thanks!
wow , Dave. After checking your site, I’m freakin’ impressed!! Here I thought you dabbled in a little wood carving here and there and then I see the samurai warrior armor and I realize you’re many many levels above that, holy crap! Awesome craftsmanship there. btw, nice website too. Real professional looking.
Aw… Shucks. Thanks for the very kinds words @jbruckus! I just like making stuff. Doesn’t much matter what it is.
Translation for “Doesn’t matter what it is” Really kickass knives, armor, brass knuckles…you name it, I’ll make it!! Keep it up, Dave…you rock!!!
John, you’re the best - thanks brother. Y’all sure know how to make a man feel good! I’m on cloud nine with all the compliments.
Definitely great stuff! Thank you for sharing. You need to make more spoons though! I’d buy one I haven’t acquired a spoon yet
I’ve only just got round to looking at your site @ddave, and bloody hell i’m impressed. I agree with @fisch that is how you SHOULD make a living, but if you can’t or won’t then ffs don’t stop, you make some class stuff! Stefan
You guys - my head’s getting so swollen my wife won’t speak to me. LOL! Thanks for the very kind words, I really appreciate it. I was lucky to get a little shop time in this morning. Eric, I will keep you in mind when I make another wooden snuff spoon. I found some good material for some today, so maybe I’ll get round to that this weekend.
Agree with everyone else you are one talented guy the craftmanship in your work is awesome
Wow man, thank you so much!
Yes lovely stuff…Thinking of making some nice snuff boxes?
I’m afraid accurate woodworking is beyond my scope. I’d love to be able to do that, but haven’t the tools or skills to pull it off. I’m just going to have to content myself with the nice boxes that are already available.
That would be great Dave thanks
Hey Dave, if Butters gets a spoon, Kyle and Stan better get one too!!
@Fisch lmao!
Dave, have you ever thought about making pipe tampers? I’d buy one! or two.
@ddavelarsen Dave you kickass man! I’ll let you know through a PM when I receive my spoon so we can arrange a trade/payment. I’m rather flexible. Oh, and I’m sorry I’ve left you hanging with the video reviews. I PROMISE they are still coming- it’s just been a minute since I’ve used my webcam and for some reason this software can’t be found online. So long story short- I’m too poor for a new camera right now but when it happens you will be the first to know PS- Kyle and Stan DO NOT need spoons. Kenny already has his sticking outta his head. You killed Kenny, you BASTARD! hehe
