Thanks for the nice comments. The wood is Wenge wood. Here are a couple more pics.

Thanks for more pics, LAB. That's so nice. You're making me want a GB, but it would pale next to your's. :cool:

Thanks Jazz. The GB is a great knife. I just personally never could warm up to the look of the CF scales. I've always been partial to bolsters and wood.

That GB rocks, wenge-wood, correct? Very clean job!! I really like the transit from the SS-bolster to the wood, the angle between both materials, kudos!
You made the dent in the liner for the lock-access as well, but thinned out that liners a lot, right?
I also made my own scales on a GB, thinned out the liners as well. However in my GB you can read 'M-M4', in yours 'PM-M4'
But again, wonderful job!

Hello Toomzz. Thanks for the nice comments. I just made the bolsters and wood match the liners, I didn't thin the liners. As you already mentioned, I made the thumb access for the lock bar larger. That was just a personal preference.

Hi LAB, again superb job. I also liked the liner a little bit more open making the Linerlock better accessible. I did it on both my GBs. Especially the green one is of my all time EDC favorite. With a touch of yourself it a knife so much more
(The picture was made before I made the dent in the green one :) )

Man, those look great! I like the texture job especially.

The green one is peel-ply, the coyote is milled with a sphere-formed little mill.
It is quite easy, you can also do it with a regular drill in a drill-press...
