George Wostenholm & Sons in Ambonya burl
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures. I am just feeling too tired to get everything out (I cleaned the garage today after finishing this. That was one h€ll of a job.) Anyways this is a George Wostenholm & Sons in Ambonya burl with a mammoth ivory wedge. It is finished off in epoxy resin. It separated from the wood under the pivot washer when pinning but I fixed that(I didn't want to show pictures of that). There is still some pitting that I had left because the blade was so thin. This will be my father's Christmas present. I am also making an oak coffin box stained dark kona. malachite dots on the lid and lined in blue or green velvet.

I tell you guys what, it was a female dog to hone! I kept getting an uneven bevel (one spot on one side was huge and on the other there was almost none). Then I realized that my stone was uneven.

Gorgeous! I am looking to make scales out of Amboyna, but can't find it in pieces large enough. Could you share the information of your supplier? Thanks!
