Bumble Bee Skin and MARPAT BURLAP

[fod]

Here a couple new things fresh from the press.

First is some yellow and black burlap going off to Bark River in the next day or so. They are introducing a new knife called the Bumble Bee and Mike asked me to make this up. Triple layers for nice bold stripes.

Next is my new "MARLAP" (and new cheesy name!). I had my supplier hook me up with four colors that are pretty close to the Marine Corps digital camo. I "weighted" the colors similar to the proportions used in the USMC Camoflage: about 40% khaki, 30% green, 20% black and 10% gray. The material is a linen like burlap and I laid it up in a kinda random stack. The grids give it a digital look. It came out pretty cool, IMHO.

Here is the Mk1 Mod1 Marlap:

I used a darker burlap...it was pretty close to coyote brown. The previous sample is in the back:

Some 5 color canvas camo:

This is an attempt at ACU. Tan and gray burlap. I used some green dye in the epoxy, but not enough. Should be a bit greener:

Group photo, show the difference between the tan and other brown better.

here is what the bumble bee skin looks like on a Bark River Aurora. I am excited to see how the burlap camos will look.

That really came out nice!

Thanks John.

I agree and if the BB skin looks that cool, the camo will be even cooler.

Looks cool to me. Great work.

That Bumble Bee Skin polished up really nicely. It looks great. Hopefully we will get to see the Marlap Camo all polished up as well.

good looking knife. I know a lot of steeler fans that would really like it.
