My latest work

Post by glennbad »

Here are a few recent builds...

This first one had a imitation tortoise shell covers. Put some nice stag on it!

This next one was a Craftsman barlow with fake sawcut. Put some nice amber jigged bone it. Just looks right.

Then, this 15 with a recover in cocobolo. A little before and after...

I also did a recover on a 77BF forum knife. From stag to burlap micarta.

This last one got some extra attention. It's a 73, put some nice wood on it. Made a bar shield for it. Threaded the bolsters. Satin finish on the bolsters and wood.

Very, very nice. Impressive. Love the stag on that first one. That one went from celluloud to celebrate!

Outstanding work Glenn, I see that stag you bought in Mystic was exactly what your customer ordered.
