Two shades carver.

I made myself a new carver, a Bergstrom blade that I got from Brisa, I have quite a bit of Laburnum wood, so I got a nice bit that shows of the heart and sap wood for the handle.














The wood is fantastic with a few coats of linseed oil.




























I had a quick go with it this evening and its a great blade, very sharp and keeps a good edge.
I like the blades Gunnar makes. they are made from Udderholm 1770 spring steel HRC 60.
I think I might get some more in the future.

    Thank you for the very helpful drawing of gluing two pieces of wood together. I’m sure this will help with some of the odd pieces of wood lying about the place. wood works in chennai
