WIP from the weekend at Bob's
Good day all,
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
Got a hold of my wood guys and I should have my handle materials by the end of the week so I started the sanding this past weekend.
I took Bob's sdvice and just sat on the couch with the blade attached to a magnet and sanded while watching a movie. Got the first one done with 200 grit getting out the grind lines and ridges.
I'll finish up the second one shortly (I hope) and than move into the shop for finish sanding and handle work.
Main thing is that it is also Christmas candy season and working on candy and knives at the same time, not so good.
More to come.
Jim

Got the handle material in today. All we professionally stabilized -
The top one is clear black ash burl, second one is green dyed black ash burl, third is brown/black dyed box elder burl and bottom one is black/gold dyed box elder burl.
I should have gotten the full size as I forgot how nice the sides can be -
Choices, choices.
Two blades and 4 possible handles.
Which one do you guys think?
Jim
P.S. - still sanding the second one. I did the grinding on it and it's a lot harder to clean up than Bob's work.

The green dyed black ash burl has my vote. I think those pants would look very classy on your blade.

I vote brown/black box.
They are all gorgeous, whatever you choose will be great.
That is a nice blade. I hope you have had as much fun with Bob as I have talking to him on the phone. He seems like one heckuva guy.
Thanks for sharing.

Personally I like the first and third one most.... The green just doesn't do it for me I don't like scales that overshadow a blade, especially on that nice.
