Probably a better indicator of colour once done.

This is great, seeing your project (and some others) as it progresses along.

Please! Keep those cards and letters coming! I am eager to see more of your way of doing things, and of course the final result as well.

Progress, sanded to size and a bit of refining on one side.

Love this wood, hard to sand though as being one of the highest Janka ratings of hardwoods

Average about a month per build so responsibilities are there. Gives me time to think and refine the time it takes.

Do enjoy the other materials I'm learning with each one.
(Also have the Micarta and the resin thread here also)

Just finishing a G10 on a non Spyderco
Skinning knife for a guy from work.

Wow, that's some special G10 you got there ! Nice contouring.

Same for the hard wood scales for the mules, really nice job !
Only working on wood for now here. I am waiting for the next mule to make some in Micarta and wood ! Hope to get 2, otherwise i'll make swapable ones.
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
