"Wood" You Show Us Your Wood?

[Oledadsknives]

Not sure whether to post in this thread or fixed blade thread but I guess I might do both eventually. This is a knife set I made a few years back with stabilized raspberry box elder burl wood and polished Damascus. Made the set for my wife who likes pink and this was about the closest I could get to that at the time.

Thank you j.o. I’m not a guild member and never really tried to sell any of them. Just a hobby I have. I posted some other knives on the show your fixed blade forum also.

[Ridgegrass]

I think you'd certainly qualify with that kind of work. Proud of ya'. J.O'.

[Oledadsknives]

Thank you so much j.o.! I’ve been out of the shop since my wife’s knee surgery. Hopefully be back at it again later this summer.

[Reverand]

You do great work, Jimbo. Those look really good!

[Oledadsknives]

Thanks Reverand! I’m hoping to be back out in the shop knifing a little as soon as the wife can walk again.

Zebra Wood on a pair of Queens from the archives:

Lovin that zebra wood for sure QT! Especially that larger one.

[Dan In MI]

Very handsome examples of zebra wood, Q!

[tvic]

Man, those are FINE looking knives, QT!

I'm a bit late getting around to thanking you fellows for the compliments . TBH, I kind of forgot about this thread until getting this 2002 S&M #51T Mini Trapper with Osage Orange Wood handle. Nothing too fancy, but it happened to be on a pattern I collect, so naturally, I got it. I'd seen this type of wood on other knives previously and was never all that impressed. I guess it's one of those woods that just looks better in person.

Although it appears fairly plain in my photos, it does have a nice grain with contrasting striations that can be seen better when examined under a magnifying glass.

[Oledadsknives]

That’s some fine lookin lumber on that S&M Qt!

[Dan In MI]

That Osage orange is absolutely stunning, Q!

[cudgee]

Got this in the pocket today. Some nice Oak.
