I wish we had local hard woods. Now antler we have, in spades. The hardest wood we have in my area is cottonwood. My mountain is covered in Subalpine spruce and doug fir.

I bet you could find a nice piece of chokecherry or serviceberry.

it's been reported that there are some maples and cedars in the south-eastern part of the state but I've never seen them. The truth is you can make a knife handle out of anything, especially if it's stabilized. Of course some woods are prettier than others and white wood of any kind to me just isn't very serviceable. I have a closet full of various exotics and burls, just need to decide what would look the best.

Here's the clamshell knife finished out with Bastogne walnut scales. Being so small, I chose a heavily figured piece with some large figure lines in it. I think it turned out well. It's a razor blade essentially as the band-aid on my left hand can attest.
WhistlingBadger:
Wow, that turned out really nice. ;D

THANKS! I am contemplating a neck type sheath or just making a cool little belt sheath for it. Maybe with a pocket clip....hmmm, the possibilities.
