I realize now that polycarbonate (Lexan is one trade name) - a derivative of petroleum, i.e. plastics - is more than just a curiosity or trick material in woodworking. It is strong and stable. It can be cut and shaped and polished like wood but unlike the latter it is clear as glass but will not shatter easily. Used as part of a project, albeit in a strategically limited way, it actually enhances and strengthens the project and make them appear to float.
So, for one more time, an opportunity presented itself by way of excess, "scrap" material from an earlier use of polycarbonate in making a woodworking jig. There were enough pieces to make one project to again showcase the utility of polycarbonates.
The two one-trick pony filet knives (to filet is their only one trick) begged to hangout next to each other. They do well with that one trick so I obliged to grant their request.
And there they are.
They also begged to be photographed in silhouette.
And unlike the other denizens of the kitchen the filet pairs live in a nice area while the rest are in a crowded housing complex of city dwellers, relatively speaking.
