I want to make a sheath for a dagger I'm working on out of wood and since the handle is coolibah burl, it makes sense to me to make the sheath out of the same kind of wood! Problem is I can't find a piece of coolibah burl big enough for the job so I figured I'd ask you guys if you had any! I need a piece about 14" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". It doesn't have to be stabilized but if it is, that's a bonus! If I can't find a chunk of coolibah burl this big I guess I'll have to make a new handle to match the sheath. If I do that I think I'm going to go with dyed box elder burl. I used some of that on a couple of my folders way back and it is just gorgeous!!!
Enough jabbering!!! :D
Lemme know if you got what I need!!!
Thanks for checking out my thread!!!!
 
Bruce it is a Eucalyptus from Australia it is also grown in California. Some very pretty wood wish I had some.

You might want to check with Chuck Bybee with AlphaKnifeSupply. I know he has some Coolibah scales, so he might have a 14" piece laying around somewhere. Good luck in your search.
