Damascus with Skunkwood and Mopani

The materials, finish, colors and textures are very nice. There are a couple of things that look off to my eye. One is the placement of the finial......I think it would look better at or above center of the butt cap.
The palm swell portion would be better if it was centered between the different colored sections of the handle material......or maybe just less pronounced.

Thanks for the feedback Darcy. Both points are on the money. I tried a couple of new handle techniques on this knife and they unfortunately threw the basics of the design out. I need to stick to the basics of design first and then incorporate new techniques, not the other way around.
 
I like where you were going with it and look forward to seeing more of your work.:)
