The customer bought these scales and shipped them to me. I forgot what they were. He said the description said, "BLACK TIGER CURLY MYRTLE BURL". So I guess that is what they are.
I have taken on a commission to put handles on several damascus blades. My idea is to match the pattern of each blade with a suitable wood. This is the first.
This one is another made to order knife. Curly maple handle with red liners. I also made a firesteel with birdseye maple and a sheath. The sheath is set up for vertical and horizontal carry. I wasn't able to do the beltloop like I wanted but it turned out all right. I'd do it differently next time.
