Spyderco Bushcraft Handle Tutorial

Great tutorial! I've just started the glue up on mine.

Where did you get the stabilized wood handle material? the Masure birch to be exact.

What size rivets/pins did you use? What size tubing did you use in the lanyard hole?
I am finding it hard to find imperial size tubing or rivets for the blank.. Did you use metric material?

Good Stuff. Execellent writeup.

I used 1/4 hidden bolts with 3/16th shanks.

I could not figure out what size the lanyard was meant to be, I would have used 1/4 and had slop in the hole, but decided instead to open out the hole. Heating with a torch would have been easier, but I used a carbide drill bit to take it to 8mm, which suits a 5/16 tube pretty well. If you soften the steel you can use a wider range of drill sizes to suit whatever tube material you have handy.

Great tutorial Chris! That semi-gloss shine makes the wood come alive even more!!!
