JK DIY handle job finished pics

[HWF]

Seeing all of the really nice handle jobs done here had me thinking it would be nice to see them all in one spot. This one was done by mykel m, I got it from an auction. Super comfortable and looks like my fingers made the dimples in the handle even! No hotspots and not too bad when wet either. Well done mykel!

So, would it be acceptable to have a thread for all the finished up DIY JKs? Post em' here!

 

[JK Knives]

Great idea, look forward to seeing all that have been done.

 

[HWF]

Well, since the man himself is posting, I'll add the only handle I have done by him.

feels strange but this is the only jk i have with my own handle "finished" on it (edit: it's walnut burl by the way)

hope to change that soon.

@tpvt , you do a great job on handles my man! That burlap is especially impressive. To me, it almost looks like snake skin. Really cool! I don't suppose you or anyone else here has tried texturing g-10 have you? I'd really like some kind of anso or reptilian pattern on my upcoming chopper order

Here's the only JK I have handled myself. LRK+ with Red Linen micarta. Still haven't made a sheath for it...
