Today we celebrate Finlands independence day. With 105 years of independence and mostly peace, it is easy to get comfortable in the stability we have achieved. World politics change though. And with that, our own trajectory must adapt as a whole. Our society is never done. It is never finished. As we grow old, younger people take our place. It is their world then. So don't ask what is best for us, here, now. Ask what will be good for everyone in the long run. Equality. Justice. Prosperity. Political slogans, but certainly things that we can not take for granted. Especially seeing what is happening in the world around us. The world is a work in progress. Always will be. Our tiny nation is no exception. . . . #bladepoint #itsenäisyyspäivä #wip #customknives #knifemakingsupplies #knifemakingcommunity #messermacher #huntingknife #couteauartisanal #puukko #puukkoknife #tollekniv #finnishdesn #knifemaking #knifelife #customknifemaker (på/i Finland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0fzFGse71/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fancy new word of the day: Chatoyancy. (Pronounced shə-ˈtȯi-ən(t)-sē). In wood, chatoyancy is when the wood is compressed and the fibers curl back on themselves becoming more dense. This causes stunning 3D effects reminding of waves or blotches that shimmer in the light. Polishing or adding oils and waxes help bring out the wanted trait, but stabilizing brings it to the next dimension. As some areas in the wood are more dense than others, it will naturally allow less color to penetrate there and further emphasize the effect. The word chatoyancy is best used when you want to confuse your friends and family when the topic is about wood having curls. Use the word wisely as it may spark a debate on being a smartass. . . . #bladepoint #chatoyancy #curlybirch #woodstabilizing #customknives #knifemakingsupplies #knifemakingcommunity #messermacher #couteauartisanal #puukko #puukkoknife #tollekniv #madeinfinland #knifemaking #knifelife #knifeporn (på/i Finland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgL-kCyMPYA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been exploring some new blade types, finish levels and processes to try to get finished knives out there quicker while still being creative and an acceptable level of quality. Playing with some cletic period inspired pieces, here is where my head was today. Thanks, @collin_miller_bladesmith I was creeping your pinterest hard today. . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #knifemaker #knifemakingcommunity #dagger #celtic #viking #pointy (at Pixel Smith - Josh A.
