What's
New
Were Back…You might have noticed that I did not publish a
January edition of the Cutting Edge. Well, it turns out when you run
the same computer for over 10 years you can not easily transfer to a new
one. So for the past 5 months I have been rebuilding and relearning, and I wont even tell you the
language I have picked up, so how could I possibly write a nice
newsletter. Let’s hope I don’t have to do that for a while, although
the lesson I learned is maybe I should have done it a bit sooner.
We had a great trip to the Ward Show in Ocean
City Maryland in
April. This is the biggest and furthest we travel for a show.
The workmanship and folks are truly worth it. You sometimes cant believe the birds don’t fly. For more photos

SHOP TALK
After 24 years of creating wood carving tools it is always amazing to see
how many new ideas are born each year. These little fishtail skews
were created with a request from a carver who was trying to reach a
tight spot. We have made larger versions over the years and this just
seemed like it might fit the job on a much smaller scale. Since
making them to fit his existing mini set, I made a few extras for the
Ward show and of course this had a few carvers dreaming about other areas
they could use them. I also had requests to put them in detailer
handles. I'll have to let you know how those work out.

I love seeing how creative you carvers are. Chris shared these
photos with me and I thought you might enjoy his work. Everyone needs
a little inspiration from time to time. I hope you enjoy his work as
much as I did.

Interesting
Tidbit
When heading out to Flea Markets/tag sales this
summer carry a new file. If the file skims across the back of the
tools (not on the edge) this means they are relatively hard.
If it bites in they are probably too soft to bother with...

Testimonial
The first set of knives I ordered arrived about a week
ago....they are wonderful. I am fairly new to wood carving and
have tried several different knives........none of them compare to the
products I received from Cape Forge! Obviously the work
of a dedicated craftsman or craftsmen (women). Too, I like
doing business with a small family firm. Hope the harsh winter
weather you experienced early is now behind you. Best Wishes.
Thanks, Charles Preston
Thanks Charles and to all those who take
the time to let me know you are enjoying your tools. It can make
our day!
