Got some new blades...

Andy?

You doing your own lamination?

If so, I have some shed snake skin that could look great on a handle.

Want it?

How would I use it on a handle... I'm a little stumped.
 
Uh...

I was thinking you make a handle, and soften the snake skin, fit it to the handle, and apply resin to encase it.

But laminating wood is different, I'm basically thinking of a "fly in amber" type display.

Maybe not. :(
 
The ebony/osage was turned down by the first guy I offered it to, so was the cocobolo/osage one.

Well I guess if you were wanting something frontier looking I could understand just plain slabs - but I thought it was a really cool idea, and looks really nice also.
 
I don't know about those other guys, I have one of Andy's two tone wood handles and love it!
 
Moot point anyway. Every one from that heat treat had cracks into the edge and had to be destroyed....
