Have a Ringed Gidgee in the works
Probably a better indicator of colour once done.

Re: Having a shot at some timber scales
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

Re: Having a shot at some timber scales
This is an inspirational thread. Life got busy for me and I fell off the mule wagon; this makes me want to get back on... s c r e w being an adult with responsibilities, I wanna make mule handles!!!

Re: Having a shot at some timber scales
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.

Re: Having a shot at some timber scales
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.

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
