Glennbad is a baaaad man

Well looking through at your latest batch Glenn is such a great! Each and everyone of those knives are extremely well done.
That Stag on the Soddy is mind blowing!!! Just unbelievably beautiful my friend.
 
Here is my Case 3299 1/2 Jackknife that I just received back from Glenn today. He did an absolutely magnificent job replacing the old yellow delrin scales with these in stag!!! It is one beautiful knife now! Thanks, Glenn!

That's what I'm talking about! :cool:
 
Glenn - always like seeing the pics of your work, and the deep crisp jigging on the bone sides that you've done impresses me most - it's so different than any modern jigging I've seen. Question - do you somehow cut the jigging yourself or is it sourced that way with that super deep jigging texture ... thx.
 
Thank you. I cannot take credit for the fine jigged bone. I get all my bone from Culpepper. They do a great job with their dyeing and jigging, so no sense creating more work for myself. Perhaps if I was making a full custom knife, I would consider my own dyeing/jigging.
 
Custom maker Fred Merz jiggs his own bone, but has it died and stabilized by Culpepper. He says they have equipment and methods that aren't readily available to makers.
 
I just think somehow the burlap material must not let the resin flow and fill every nook and cranny, or maybe doesn't let the air bubbles out well enough?

I wonder if it could be compressed while setting? I guess it doesn't affect the integrity that much, but it has always bugged me aesthetically.

That is how it is made, with the layers and resin being heavily compressed. It could be that the fibers of the burlap inhibit all the air from being squeezed out, who knows...
 
One trick with a micarta that has voids is to fill with a thin CA and resand through your grits. I usually start again at 400 and work up to 800 - 1000 on less dense stuff. Repeat as needed.
