Been making a few knives

<< < (2/8) > >>

Pat B:
Nice knives Jon. You guys are making lots of them at Twin Oaks along with everything else.  8)

PrimitiveTim:
Ooh I really like the one on the far right.  It looks antique.  And the one with the dark red handle!  What types of wood did you use?

silverfox:
 WOW, those look awesome, great job on them

Someone asked about the types of woods used for handles.

The woods used are as follows from left to right:

Yew, Hickory, Ceder, Osage, Yew, Bloodwood, Ceder, Maple Burl.

3 pin's per handle.  Glues with 2 part epoxy. 

Thank you for the complements.  We like to make things at Twin Oaks that's for sure.  I plan to make sheaths for thgem this coming week.  Seems to kake me as long to make sheaths as it does the knives.   :)

_Jon_:
The 3 knives on the left have not had the edges reduced to a sharp edge yet.  I'll finish those off this week also.
