B. J. Eyre & Co. Late W. Greaves & Sons - Redheart and turquoise.
Just finished this today. Thought I'd share.
Before and after. I had never worked with the turquoise before and just happened to have a piece laying around that I had been wanting to play with. ( It chips.. )
I wish the piece had been a bit bigger but it turned out ok in the end.
I love the redheart. I went with a simple renaissance wax finish.
Enjoy.

Looks great, nicely done. The scale shape fits well the the shape of the blade.
Thanks for sharing.

I really like it!
I heard that turquoise often breaks as the veins weaken it's structure.
It sure looks good finished though!
Great Job

Thanks all. I'm finding that I like working with hardwoods and different wedge materials. I still use micarta and other man made materials but there is something about the natural stuff that I find I just love working with.
