Very cool. I always enjoy a little raw material pron.
Have fun making some new scales.
i love teak and epee. i feel bad for your tools though. they're killer on blades.
Thanks deighaingeal, and i will as soon as i get some timer over to get started :) what do you mean with "epee" rearviewmirror? yeah i found that out working with G10, very good looking material but it kinda kills the tools :P... Did i mention that i got all of it for free? ;)
I believe he is referencing Ipe. An extremely hardwood commonly used for decking.
Hmm alright deighaingeal, have you worked with this wood? Any tips? :)
Teak? Only about a thousand man hours.
Great wood, easy to work, yet durable.
A little oily, wipe well with acetone before finishing.
What all do you want to know?
Well that was about it deighaingeal, thanks alot!:) oh yeah any tip on some kind of finish?
Finishing can be a loaded question, but I like CA for most scales. Just on teak scales I have finished with oil, CAN poly and epoxy.
Hmm alright. What kind of oil? will there be any kind of deformations with the teak wood if i use oil?
