I went and took a trip out to Gilmerwood last week and ran across some bubinga. Its some really beautiful wood but as usual my photo skills suck and I wasn't able to show the light refracting off of the lighter parts of this wood. This knife has a L-6 blade that is 6" and the total knife is around 11". I also used some bronze along with the wagon wheel wrought iron for the fittings.

I like Bubinga wood also. It reminds me of Mahogany. It's also a really cool name. Budda bing, budda bang, Bubinga! :D

Beautiful knife, by the way. :)
 
Dan, do you have one of his knives yet?
I was hoping he was going to Blade so I could seem them in person.
Really great looking lines. Nice hamon, good looking fittings.
 
Tom, If I can get a table for Blade next year I'll be there. I've got 3 shows schedualed, actually 4 counting the mini Oregon show. I'll be doing BAKCA, Blade West, and the Washington shows for the remainder of this year....
