These are not Weapons

Cut these letter openers out this weekend. I have several different patterns for them and I like them very much. The Challenge in these is in the sanding and shaping of them, not the cutting. So far I am not very good at it but they do work for opening mail and the more I do the better they will come out. The wood used for these is Bloodwood. It is very hard and very pricey but a friend of mine had some scraps left over from a project and graciously let me have them. It is a beautiful wood and the scraps were 1/8th and 1/4 inch thick Which is perfect for these. Hope to display and sell them at next weeks craft show.
