Title: Jus sum nivez
Post by: Stringman on April 03, 2017, 08:06:15 pm

Been throwing a few skinners together and figured I'd let y'all have a look see. Using a variety of materials and I think my favorite is still the cocobola and taqua nut in the middle.

Just finished this cholla handle today. First time working with it and kinda like it for something different.

Very nice work Stringman!! I especially like the last one. Triflow? I like the translucent section near the hilt! I also like the different handles. I need to start using something other than antler! Since i'm surrounded by cholla (worst cactus ever!!!) I think i will start with that! :D

Beautiful work Scott.  What is the handle made from on the bottom knife?  Is that a burl of some type?

The bottom of three has a brazalian rosewood handle.

Thanks scarred, I love using natural elements and variety is the spice of life.

Those are some real lookers Scott. I really like the middle one, also. Is the stone Washington Agate?

Joe called it Columbia River agate, but wasn't 100% on that.

I didn't know the name but it looks like the same stuff I have from Washington State. Lots of inclusions and cracks.
