Some Woods I have Stabilized

[Hukk]

I guess this is the right place for this, this is for custom knives. I hope to be selling it in a few weeks. A few pictures of stabilized black palm, a wood I love to use.

I should have a store opening soon. For Black Palm I will be at $12.99 for the 3-3/4 x 1.25, $14.99 for the 4.5 x 1.25, and $16.99 for the 4.5 x 1.5. The reason for the high price jump is that it's virtually impossible to find these woods at these sizes and I must cut the wood at an angle which creates more waste. The 4.5 x 1.5 inch wood is only 3 inches wide when I get it. Due to the volumn of waste I get on this one by cutting it so that I can get 4.5 inches out of 3 inches, the price is higher. However, I think it's pretty good compared to other prices I've seen, over $20 and up.

Here is a picture of a kit knife I made some time ago. I only kept the blade. I did not like the bolsters and other stuff so I threw those in the parts bin and made my own. you can barely see it but I dovetailed the bolsters. I like the look and the bolsters help hold the handle in. However, this one was made with wood cut to 5.5 inches, a big angle and a different look, again that would cost much more.

It's easy to do and it's very easy to be 1/64 off which is easy to see if that happens. I don't have a lot of pictures due to a hard drive problem and having to buy a new PC. Now, all of a sudden this hard drive says it has over 100 Gig of data, I think this one is also on it's way out.
