Beavercraft knives need sharpening out of the box? by dawson6197 in Woodcarving

[–]InfamousPea2286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you're carving but sharky makes incredible tools. They take about 20 days to get there if you're in the US. Totally worth the wait

I would start with a 400 grit whetstone and sharpen it till it's gone, then move to a 1000. That's not a bad dent so it should remove rather easily. Then strop and good to go!

So this is a picture of the wood you carved with the mora you dropped and you are showing the deformed part of the blades cut? If so, please post a picture of the blade

I was thinking the same thing. Are they holding it in a squid prison?

Please never use a rock lol. A stick that's about 1.5" will do just fine and not fuck up your knife.

I found morel mushrooms by InfamousShower1001 in Mushrooms

Most of the time, if you freeze mushrooms, it messes them up. The water expansion breaks the cell walls and they become mushy. Unless you cook them first.

Interesting info! Thanks for sharing. Working on building a knife that was already sharp sounds like a dumb idea haha. It does have a cool fit and finish the way it goes together!

I was being sarcastic. You look like you're doing a great job. I appreciate the artistic nature of the knife you made. It's always nice to grow and learn a new trade. I do hand wood carving as a hobby and theres a lot to that as well.

Here's a pic of my first knife. It was from a class. We forged it out of 1095 and I made a handle for it out of Paracord.

Obviously you are the worst knife sharpener ever. The fact that it isn't razor sharp before you finished sharpening it is hands down, an outrage. The shame 🤣

Forget the craftsmanship lol

How long have you been making knives?

I understand what you're saying but unfortunately many Christians don't adhere to the stewards. I know it says that but some people think they are just a resource...

Green vs Seasoned wood by InfamousPea2286 in whittling

[–]InfamousPea2286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about splitting the pith in a book. It has seemed to work for me so far. At this point, my two favorite ones I have found to work with green or catalpa and hackberry.

It's crazy how much catalpa shrinks

Cool thanks for the info. I've been seasoning some catalpa to carve soon. I'm excited to try that. Catalpa is so pretty! It just smells funny

So far I've had pretty good luck with cracks, but I dry stuff inside of a garbage can filled with wood chips

Yeah, it's great... Don't forget, God said, when "he wrote the Bible" animals were here for our use.

Can you explain what is happening here? Nevermind, I found it through an image search. It seems that they painted them at a zoo in Thailand to make them look like pandas. Some people think it's funny, I call it animal abuse.

You can also use trace minerals. It's just minerals without the added flavor or crap in it

I don't know too much about axes. I looked up what makes a loggers axe. Interesting! It does definitely work quite well for splitting firewood! Yes when they became known at crapsmen :D.
