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?

**deighaingeal** · 06-01-2011, 04:14 PM

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?

**deighaingeal** · 06-01-2011, 04:21 PM

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.

**Sibban** · 06-01-2011, 04:23 PM

Hmm alright. What kind of oil? will there be any kind of deformations with the teak wood if i use oil?
